Toyo Tires NHRA Nationals at Maple Grove, October 2010
Antron and Brandon on the gas...
Scott Palmer. He just missed making it in.
Here's Palmer against Tony Schumacher.
One of the classiest there is and one of my favorites: Doug Kalitta.
The Lucas-backed dragster of Shawn Langdon.
Doug Foley in the right (near) lane and David Grubnic.
In the middle of Top Fuel qualifying Mike Neff tried to wander the track again, but this time was blocked by a fellow Force-mate.
Funny Car qualifying: Justin Schriefer in the right (near) lane didn't make it in, but Phil Burkhart Jr. did.

I love this: bodies up, tons of crew and fans, ESPN camera man trying to get any shot he can, and Connie Kalitta with his cowboy hat on, just watching everything.

Ashley Force-Hood and Cruz Pedregon's nose.
Jeff Arend.
Jeff Arend and Melanie Troxel. Mel just missed making it in.
Paul Lee in Jim Dunn's Canidae-backed funny car.
