Friday
- Sunday, June 9-11, 2017
Welcome
to our photo coverage of the NHRA Summernationals. held
June 8th - 11th, 2017 at Old Bridge Township Raceway
Park in Englishtown, NJ. We'll be starting our visit
with Friday, June 9th. What a day! There were lots and
lots of Sportsman racers on the property so as usual
we focused most heavily on them, although we also included
the pros, too. The big treat was seeing fellow Englishtown
bracket racers being a part of the event. The top 8
points in Pro ET and ET Motorcycle were invited to compete;
that was awesome! Thanks to track manager John Hedenburg
for making that happen.
NHRA
provided us with access to the starting-line photo area
for the whole weekend (thank you, NHRA!), so as a result
we got some great up-close shots of the cars. By the
time Sunday rolled around we had more than enough Sportsman
coverage so we concentrated on the opening ceremonies
and first round of Top Fuel and Funny Car. Then we headed
back to the office to start sorting through all of the
photos. We hope you like the coverage and the amount
of space we devote to the Sportsman racers. Here we
go!
