(Photos by Rich Pasley) – We’re back with the mother load of killer Rich Pasley photos from the 2014 NHRA Auto Plus New England Nationals which were held at New England Dragway in Epping, NH. Today we have exploding fuel cars, sweet sportsman machines, and high speed action photos galore. Rich is an awesome shooter and we were lucky to have him at the strip this weekend at one of the most entertaining drag races we have ever attended on the NHRA tour. Hole shots were the order of the day, to the point that after a while it was just getting silly. All kidding aside, this was easily the best NHRA race for the actual racing we have attended thus far in the 2014 campaign.
It was also the most packed and Rich has the photos to prove it. New England Dragway was jammed, and we mean jammed with people from the second gates opened to the second that they closed at night. Nitro starved and hardcore don’t begin to describe the fans in this New England region of the USA. The weather was spectacular for the duration of the event and many track records were destroyed in the process.
Thanks a million to Rich Pasley for these truly stunning photos, they are awesome!

I DVR every NHRA broadcast and watch at my leisure within 24 hours. Yesterday I tuned in just late enough to blast past the commercials and see it real time with the whole famdamily sitting there as gape jawed as me wondering how can we get to NH next year. The racing was incredible even sitting at home watching, I can only imagine what it must have been like to be there (I got a pretty good idea, I’ve attended the Nationals probably 20 times in the last 50 years). I even saw Brian on camera a couple times over the w/e.
I’ve gotta ask, “Who was the bald headed douchebag at the end of the track during the awards presentation?” He about had his thumb up Capp’s ass and I could tell that Ron really, really wanted to clock him. What a jerk. Seriously I was watching on tv and got so pissed I couldn’t believe it. Best tv broadcast I’ve ever seen. Kudos to everyone involved (except you know who).
My grandchildren, my son and myself attended Saturday,s qualifying session as guests of Kalitta Motorsports. An incredible experience to be in their hospitality tent and to meet & greet with Del Worsham and Doug Kalitta. I have been a regular visitor to N.E.D. for 40 years and this beats them all. Thanks again to Kalitta Motorsports.
