...and a good time was had.

Yesterday, Kim and I went to the Checker, Shucks and Kragen Northwest Nationals at Pacific Raceway and had a good time. It was a bit cool but not too bad. The track temperature was colder than usual which usually means that there's going to be some fast runs down the strip. During the Top Alcohol Funny Cars, Top Alcohol Dragsters and the Pro Stock Cars sessions, it seemed like the track record was broken each time a car went down the track. It was great to watch the cars screaming past at 200 & 300 MPH.

We got a chance to hang out at the CSK Funny Car pit for a while and we talked with Bob Wilber for a bit. Bob is the team manager and also runs the CSK Team Blog on NHRA.com.

We spent the rest of the time eating "track food" and just milling about. It's interesting to see the people that show up to the races. I'm hoping to possibly get to another race this season, maybe Vegas or Pomona?
