Hey all, I screwed up! Here's what I should have posted:

The 12th race of the 2015 season, the 9th annual Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Nationals, is July 2-5, at Summit Racing Equipment Motorsports Park in Columbus, OH.
As always, your picks need to be posted before Pro Qualifying starts on Friday, July 3 in order to qualify for all event bonus points. Pro qualifying is scheduled to start at 5:00PM EDT (2:00PM PDT).
The Summit Racing Equipment Nationals entry list is posted on NHRA.com and currently shows 19 Top Fuel, 17 Funny Car, 17 Pro Stock and 18 Pro Stock Motorcycle entries, but the counts are subject to change.
Keep checking http://www.nhra.com/events/entrylist12.aspx for an updated entry list.
Get your picks posted and GOOD LUCK!

I plan on it.....I keep telling her how loud they are so we will see how long before she doesn't like it anymore .....

 

[64BEL]

Have fun Nick, but do yourself a favor and skip the 2 hour line for the cheap ice cream.
