Default Look who is testing

NHRA starts 2/5/09. Some fuel teams and funny cars were recently testing the 18th. in Florida.

Damn US Army team 3.812 @317 + mph

For the sport - I hope 2009 is a safe year................

Yes Dixon can drive too. But that damn Army team is new, the crew chief is new, and they still run the best ET of the day.

It should prove an interesting season on many fronts (not just the teams, or lack there-of). Remember, testing is just that. Come game day, sometimes who looked great testing can't make a full pass on Sunday.

I'm personally not a fan of Dark Side Racing. I'm hoping someone else steps up and takes the title away.
