(Photos by David Whealon) – NHRA Drag Racing at the Gatornationals was off the hook! We’re talking huge crowds, great racing, and a good time had by all! This is the start of a whole new year of NHRA Drag Racing and we know this season is going to be something special. We’ve got great nitro action photos from Gainesville thanks to longtime contributor David Whealon. David was in Florida shooting all kinds of fun stuff at the Gatornationals and sent both nitro and pro mod photos.

I’ve raced and announced a fair amount in the state of Florida and can tell you that the fans there are awesome. And boy did they get a great show at the 2023 Gatornationals. Check out our first gallery of nitro action shots below.
