Sunday News & Notes from the NHRA Northwest Nationals
With an early 10:30 a.m. start, the teams seem excited to run in the cooler conditions after two days of midafternoon heat. There's a spotty chance of sprinkles, but hey, it's the Northwest, where rain is a way of life. The guy on the news last night promised, "It'll be nothing to ruin your day," and I'm holding him to that. It actually sprinkled lightly on the pre-race ceremony but stopped after a few minutes of people casting angry eyes at the sky. As we prepare to fire up for round one of Top Fuel, it's about 70 degrees and there's a solid cloud cover after two days of bright, blue skies, making things even more comfortable for now but it's supposed to warm up in the afternoon.
