FRN will be at National Trail Raceway in Columbus Ohio this weekend Sept 3-5. The 7th event of the season will have an assortment of classes including a Y block and Nostalgia bracket class. Bracket 1,2,3 and lets not forget the True Street Class where drivers take to the roads for 30 miles then make 3 back to back passes without lifting their hoods. In the heads up classes drivers are gunning for the number 1 spot, it's still anyone ones game! |
Unfortunately at the last minute we were unable to attend the event in Columbus. We appologize for not providing the usual coverage. Hey, these things happen! |

FRN will be in North Carolina at Zmax Dragway for the All Star Nationals. Zmax is the first and only 4 lane dragstrip. This event will have a venders midway, swapmeet, car show and some of the best drag racing when the NMRA competes against the NMCA for the all star title! Event photos will be up after the event. |
Update! It's Friday and we are here getting ready for First round qualifier. It's hot and it will be hard for the cars to make the power!... I stand corrected, Jason Lee in Drag Radial just made a test pass and ran a 7.99 and Sean Lyon made a 7.94! This looks to be an exciting weekend!
Update! Saturday Morning here at Zmax is cloud covered and the track is working great! Last night Pro Outlaw 10.5 racer Conrad Scarry burned an exhaust valve and had to send the head out to get fixed. I went by their trailer this morning and they were just finishing putting there engine back in the car. Good job guys! In Drag Radial Jason Lee let the car loose in the 3rd round qaulifying and had a big pop at the 60ft and shut the car down. The track had to tow him off. We hope he will be able to get it fixed for first round eliminations.
THIS JUST IN! Samuel Vincent ran a stealer 7.26 @ 192! Thats the fastest pass in Super Street Outlaw. Samuel runs a small block nitrous engine in his fox body coupe.
Update! Sunday Sunday Sunday! It's race day here at Zmax and the crews are getting ready for the mid day action. Conrad Scarry and the Scarry Crew have been up all night getting their Pro Outlaw 10.5W car up and running for first round elimination. |

Jim Browns loses chutes at NMRA/NMCA Superbowl! |

| Just a week earlier Top Alcohol dragster racer Mark Niver was involved in a fatal incident today when his dragster lost its chutes and crashed in the shutdown area during eliminations at the NHRA Northwest Nationals at Pacific Raceways. Thats why when Jim Brown driving his Pro Outlaw 10.5W nitrous injected big block |
Mustang with 3 stages dumped his laundy all over the track, we were all on our feet hoping Jim could get his car stopped in time before the sand pit. With Jim being calm cool and collective all the time, he gives us the run down on what it's like when you can't slow down! |
|
Go thru the whole run and tell us what happened.
We had to pedal the car early and were able to get back in it. We went 195mph out the back end and pulled the chutes and there was nothing there it broke all the frame work off the car. Just ripped it out the back of the frame.
You go out there win your round and you have a routine you start after you lift. What went thru your mind when you realized the chutes didn't pop?
Normally with my car I pull the chutes, click the ignition off, and wait for the chutes to blossom before we ever get on the brakes. Well theres that split second where you go "uh oh" they didn't open! Fortunately the track here has a long shut down and it gave me plenty of room to get the thing stopped. My lucky day!

This just happened to a driver last week at the NHRA what feeling did you get, did you get a little nervous?
You kind of have to stay a little bit calm. Obviously most people don't think anything bad is going to happen to them. It is a dangerous sport, 200mph is fast. But no I wouldn't say there was any panic because I got it slowed down enough, I never felt like I wasn't going to get it stopped. There wasn't alot of panic, had it been a shorter shutdown their probaly would have been panic.
Is it fixable will you be out tomorrow?
Oh ya! It will be fixed before it goes in the trailer tonight. See if we can give Conrad Scarry a run for their money tomorrow, make a nice race!

Adam and Nate Pritchett hosted their Outlaw Drag Racing Series at Milan MI this past weekend. You might remember them from the hit show Pinks and Pinks All Out where they sat in the tower and called the shots. Billy Glidden was there with is old black Mustang GT. It was just 6 days earlier that he wrecked his new Extreme 10.5 2011 Mustang bodied at the ADRL in Heartland Park Topeka Kansas. Not one to sit a side and watch people race, Billy Glidden showed just how good he really is by going to the finals in 10.5 Outlaw in such an out dated car. We will have pictures of the event posted once we get back from Joliet.
Update! Pictures are up! (Click Here)

FRN will be attending the 4th event of the NMRA at Milan MI. June 11,12. Will Jason Lee break his record again, 3 events in a row? Catch all the drama and excitement on FRN as the event unfolds!
Friday Update! The rain fell for about 20min and it was clear skies for the rest of the day. The qualifying round was action packed. Mike Murrillo went sideways and brushed the wall with his bull horn and Conrad Scarry got way out of the grove on his second qualifier and spun a turbo out of his big block twin turbo Pro Outlaw 10.5 Car. Conrad's crew had it up and running with a new turbo before they put it in the trailer for the night.
