- Early rain delayed the start of the day's events, which allowed for more viewing of cars in pits, playing games, and such.
- The the DHL Top Fuel Funny Car did a solo pass in honor of Scott Kalitta who died at this event last year.
- In response to Scott's accident NHRA has shortened Top Fuel finish line to 1000 ft from 1,320 ft.
- Interesting that the article above notes that it will still allow fans to see cars at near 300 mph speeds.
- Ashley Force and a few of the TF-Dragsters still managed to go over 300MPH.
- Honestly, the sound, the flames, the speed, it doesn't matter if you go to 1,320 or not, it's great.
- They closed the track a little earlier this year so the night qualifying was not quite as late as last year.
- Still watched some flaming action when the top fuel cars lined up after 7pm local time.
Full slide show of mostly racing.
New camera made for some really nice action photos - able to snap off 30 frames. Here's a full set of a side-by-side Top Fuel Funny Car race from start, until the camera reached buffer max.
