Bookending much needed storms on Wednesday and Friday, today teams set up shop for what looks to be a rain-shortened qualifying schedule for the 2017 NHRA Winternationals at the Pomona Fair Grounds. With sunshine likely back for the weekend there will be racing. The Winters is where we get to see the new cars of the season, and what a season it’s looking to be. If you haven’t already read about the crazy 2016 Pro Stock season and what the future might hold for Pro Stock this year and beyond, check that out as the crew chiefs and drivers we talked with were quite candid about the previous season and this new season of mostly all Chevrolet Pro Stock Camaros.
We had a chance to walk the pits to get some closeups of some of the Top Fuel engines, bare chassis, and general mayhem that takes place during set up. Check it out and come back for more all weekend.
