These are some of the folks and cars from NHRA at Phoenix. I have a whole album at Ofoto. I tried to shoot some of the class winners. Folks will have to use NHRA communications to figure out the classes.

One guy who needs no introduction is Bill "Grumpy" Jenkins, my hero and idol in the '60s. I haven't been this close to him in about 35 years. If I never take another pic of a racer, I'm happy to have taken these pics. 

Enjoy the rest...

Dooooin' just fine, thanks.

The Bud Prince is happy in advance. Good reason...

Scott Geoffrion qualified the Blakeney/Panella Ford, but crashed. He's OK.

Super Stock class winners...

Front engine diggers are COOL!

Another Super Stock class winner. Congrats, guys.

One of a zillion high dollar sportsman cars. Racers just having fun. 

Kelly Racing Chevy II was a throwback.

King Kenny had to be thrilled with Brandon's performance. 

Greg Anderson leapt into the Pro Stock points lead with a win. 

See Ya...
