PHOENIX - Friday Schedule Update - Cold and Wet

CHANDLER, Ariz. - The 35th annual Magic Dry Organic Absorbent NHRA Arizona Nationals at Wild Horse Pass Motorsports Park at Phoenix, AZ

The weather has once again taken away our planned 8:30 AM start time for Sportsman activities.

It is still just 41 degrees here and, while track drying has been in progress for some time, showers have returned and the track is completely wet again. The forecast for today is not promising.

Check back from time to time for updates.

Friday Schedule Update Two - Track Drying Resumes
By David Gerard

Some Sunshine Through The Clouds

CHANDLER, Ariz. - The 35th annual Magic Dry Organic Absorbent NHRA Arizona Nationals at Wild Horse Pass Motorsports Park at Phoenix, AZ
Track drying is going well and the radar is promising for a while. The air temperature is now up to 51 degrees with 65% humidity.

The "official" estimate just put out on the PA is that "It will be a while" before activities begin.

The grounds here are absolutely soaked and some of the Sportsman races are having problems getting their cars out of the trailers and ready to race.

Check back from time to time for updates.

Track drying has mostly completed, except of a difficult patch of water on the track near the sand trap. The NHRA Safety Safari has been focusing their efforts on this area for some time now.

It was just announced that we will be starting off with Funny Car at 2:30 pm, if conditions continue to improve.

The air temperature is now up to 56 degrees with 50% humidity.

The sun keeps ducking in and out behind dark clouds, so future weather is still "Iffy".

I live five miles from the track.
Just had a hail shower hit followed by more rain. Going to take plenty of magic dry to dry this up.

Just heard a couple of fuel cars doing a burnout.
Hail and rain must have missed the track.

Kalitta and Vandergrif pulled out of line.Others are following.Track must be REALLY bad.

If the track is so bad that Top Fuel has pulled out of the staging lanes,this session of Pro Stock should be VERY interesting.

Matt Hagan was the lone funny car to make it down 3.94. the rest of funny car was a s#!+ show. top fuel no better, Brittany ran a 4.94 the other 5 cars blew the tires off and the rest of the field pulled out. I've never seen that happen. I feel sorry for the fans....

Well Friday was a bummer. Looks like Sportsman will get one hit Sat. morning then eliminations Sat. afternoon.

Glad I didn't go....

Here is the schedule for today.

The just announced a change to 9:00am for Stock Q1. Very cool temps, around 37 degrees, but bright clean skies and sun on the track.

Did he make a full pass?

Looks like the track is good.

So far, the Sportsman races have been getting down the track.
