Took my mom to the Saturday qualifying at the NHRA finals in Pomona. This was her first time at an NHRA event after going to NASCAR, IndyCar, and dirt racing. She really enjoyed it!! We were walking around the pit area and she was blown away at the access fans have. She really wanted to see John Force, but was excited to at least get to see them building the engine in his car. She got her "nitro baptism" when we were walking behind Leah Pritchett's pit and they started the engine up. She was coughing and crying but thought it was pretty cool. The weather was perfect and we will definitely be back. Next race we are going to is the Turkey Night Grand Prix at Ventura Raceway on Thanksgiving night.
