Another fine batch of cars rolled into JBA this morning, including two brand new Boss 302′s, a Superformance GT40, an open-header Mopar drag car and a Nissan GTR the owner picked up only 62 hours earlier. Special guest Don Prudhomme stopped by as well. Thanks to everyone who came out to drink coffee, eat donuts and bench race. Now we’ll let the pictures do the talkin’.

Caught the 4th day of the NHRA Winternationals Drag Race at Pomona that included the finals for the Pro Stock, Funny Car and Top Fuel classes. It was a beautiful setting…clear, crisp weather with snow-capped mountains in the background. Don “The Snake” Prudhomme was honored as part of the NHRA 60th Anniversary Season celebration. Congrats to Jason Line, Robert Hight and Morgan Lucas for their class wins. A few random images are attached. -bt

On Wednesday afternoon June 23rd JBA co-sponsored Dragster Nite at the Steakhouse Stake Out at Pinnacle Peak Steakhouse on Mission Gorge Road. Somehow we found a way to get out of moving our shop for a few hours to hang out with a bunch of drag racers. We brought down Fenn’s Vega drag car and Tucker’s old split window. The special guest was Don Prudhomme and he was as friendly as can be. He made a point of walking around the whole show and talking with folks, posing for pictures and signing autographs. Even though he’s earned superstar status in drag racing, at this show he was just another gearhead checking out the cars. One of the funny things he said about his driving career was “I’ve been on fire from here to New York .” See the attached pictures for more of the story. -bt
