Just so you don’t think everything here is computer geek stuff or Lizard related.
I have spent the last 2 days at Firebird International Raceway working and promoting Tire Pros at the event. It started out yesterday with me having breakfast with Kenny Bernstein (photos coming soon) and got more exciting as the day went on!
A full day of qualifying both Friday and Saturday, culminating with a dramatic last-ditch qualifying efforts by John Force and Doug Kalitta. Barely extending their class-leading streaks, both men managed to limp in during the fourth and final time trial, Force in Funny Car with a 4.818 and Kalitta in Top Fuel with a 4.547. Force has now qualified for 394 consecutive events, while Kalitta has reached 162 straight race days. If you have never had the experience of seeing a car go 330 MPH+ on a quarter mile you have not seen anything!
But, not only did we see some great runs and a little nail biting, we also had alot of fun at our booth! We had lots of vistors and the weather was great! Mid 60’s with abundant sunshine.
Sunday will bring the finals and everything is up for grabs. Should be a great day! You can see some of the highlights on NHRA Race Day live this Sunday from the Checker Schucks Kragen NHRA Nationals at 11 a.m. Eastern on ESPN2 and ESPN2HD.
Check out other photos and view details on the upcoming Tire Pros Monster Truck and Jammin Nationals here!

PS… I will be sling’ing the ESPN show from our booth and handing out their brochures. So I guess there will be a little geek talk going on.
