I didn't realize there were that many draglisters there. We would have said hey to everyone. On another note, it is a real shame NHRA won't let me show this footage on the internet. I mean there was no other people taping the event and free advertising of a great event to attract future spectators seems like a win win idea. I do see the point in not selling it, but free advertising come on. This was the first Divisional event I have ever attended and I must say, it is already on the schedule for next year. Thanks for everything you the racers do to entertain us. It was a blast!

Costs of playing with the NHRA. They insist that photos are used only for news purposes and videos are generally out. What are ya gonna do? bp

When they called us to the tower, it was to show all the NHRA officials the crash video. As for the reason we were taping in the first place. Taz had us tape the event for the track archives. That is the only reason we were allowed to do it in the first place. As for the photos, they werent an issue cause they were taken just like a normal fan would have, either in the pits, staging lanes or from the stands.

Funniest part about being called to the tower, that is the first time they have EVER mentioned 1800-Entertainment over the PA. And we got to here it 5 times in less than 5 minutes...lol...Also all the NHRA officials now know who we are.
