Toyo Tires NHRA Nationals at Maple Grove, October 2010

Howdy, and thanks for stopping by for Part II of our photo-coverage of the Toyo Tires NHRA Nationals...

We'll get things going with Top Fuel in the lanes and on the track.
There was a big crowd on hand Saturday for the Parade of Funny Cars
Tony Schumacher and team getting ready to take to the track.
Cory McClenathan is a crowd-favorite and a class-act.

Cory Mac hits on all eight; look at how high above the headers the heat is shimmering the air!

In my travels in the pits I spied the Super Street Camaro of Mike Quartarone...
...and the only car that can make my Dodge look like a compact, the Super Gas 1949 Chevy of Wellsville, PA's Gary Laird.
Current Funny Car points leader Matt Hagan was having a great time talking to the fans in the pits...
...until a Team Force operative was caught trying to hypnotize Hagan into submission: "Don't turn your second fuel pump on... Don't turn your second fuel pump on..."
You've seen this Top Alcohol Funny Car all over our coverage of the LODRS from Englishtown: it's the Terenzio Racing Firebird driven by Frank Schuster, strapped in and waiting in the lanes.
