NHRA Las Vegas - 110 Degrees and Lovely!
No surprise, it was a sweltering event at the NHRA Sport Compact Nationals in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Why they have this event in the middle of July, I can only imagine. . . and what I imagine is some evil character rubbing his hands together and chuckling as he envisions this experiment in heat torture, wondering if, maybe this year, someone will spontaneously combust. No one did.

Ballard Takes the Mobil 1 Chevy Cobalt All The Way
At NOPI's first Sportsman Only event this past weekend in Maryland the CSI team didn't take any chances on their approach to this race. "We are running the car just like at the national events and not taking anything for granted," stated Team Owner, Charlie Schafer at the start of the race.
