On this
episode of the NHRA Insider Podcast Tony Pedregon and Jim Epler
join host Brian Lohnes to talk about the upcoming Menard’s NHRA
Nationals presented by Pet Armor. Lohnes and Pedregon put a fine
point on the western swing and break down, by class, where people
are coming into this home stretch of the regular season,
culminating at the Dodge Power Brokers US Nationals.
The discussion
on the western swing centers not just on the races and teams
themselves but on the true look we got at their individual
performances over the three week stretch. Did some teams show
themselves in championship form already? Can they carry it through
for nine races? Did some teams seem to have a break of some kind?
It’s all open for discussion and boy do they have at
it.
Jim Epler
joins the show as the second guest. The man who broke the 300mph
barrier for funny cars at Topeka and who is now an executive with
Phillips Connect shares his memories, his passion for drag racing,
and what it means to return to the scene of an insanely memorable
moment, 30 years after the fact.
A great show
that will pump you up for the Topeka race and give you some things
to look at as the teams put their best food forward headed to the
final in Indy and the Countdown to The Championship!
