By the time you read this, Chad and I will be at the track talking t0 the drivers and teams testing at the 2012 PRO Winter Warm Up. If this year is anything like last year, we’ll be on nitro overload roughly 18 minutes after setting foot on the grounds of Palm Beach International Raceway. We are live broadcasting the event starting tomorrow morning in the 9am-10am Eastern time frame. The program is pretty simple. During the day, teams make laps at their leisure and then in the evening there are two rounds of side by side action and the grandstands are packed full of people. It really is the unofficial beginning of the 2012 NHRA season!
To get you all pumped up and perhaps snap you out of the mid-week doldrums, here are the galleries we shot of the event in 2011. There are more than 20 teams registered and burning nitro at PBIR all week. We look forward to bringing you all the action on Friday and Saturday. We’ve not perfected our “smell-o-vision” technology yet, so you’ll have to dream about the sweet perfume of nitro, but the glorious CACK will be echoing off the walls with our patented kick ass sound.
Stay tuned for live action starting tomorrow, until then, hit the links to see the galleries below!
