Default NHRA AZ Nationals Wild Horse Pass Motorsports Park

Lynn, Holly and I went to the Arizona Nationals today. We had tried to get channel 3 here locally to do some "feel good" donor awareness television from the track with some of the racers, but it didn't work out. We met up with Gary Joseph Lawler and his wife and friend, too!

Our neighbor Kelly Harper had his Top Sportsman Pontiac out and qualified 10th! What a really cool guy....We're going to try and meet up with Erica Enders tomorrow

Enjoy the pictures!

Gary Lawler, his wife and their friend checking out a Nitro Harley!









For the SoCal folks who used to listen to KLOS and now listen to 100.3 The Sound....the name on the window should be familiar! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]











Holly's favorite racer!











Neat sign above the nitro warning-we talked to the owner and the whole group of racers have donor awareness signs on their rigs... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]











Me fooling with the camera...

You are welcome, Dave! We're trying tomorrow to hook up with Erica, one on one. We kept missing her today, except when she was leaving to go for her qualifying run...I did get two shots for you. Also, we did find out that her dad, Gregg isn't here [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif[/img]

It's Fast Jack Beckman...a super nice and friendly guy always!









And Holly with her favorite driver, Tony Schumacher. He didn't remember her at first, but I reminded him of the TV spot they did together a few years ago and his eyes lit up and he smiled, then he pulled her inside the cordoned off area...and she told him she just had a kidney transplant. He they reminded everyone there who the &quot;strong&quot; one was [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]










And Lynn and Holly with our buddy John Medlen. Can you believe it's been 10 years since Eric, his son passed away? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif[/img]








Holly with Courtney Force




And Antron Brown [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]








Jeg Coughlin Jr.....on the way to the staging area







And the ever elusive Erica Enders.....on the way to the staging area [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]
