they apparently were very close friends but all the fan noise and criticism from all directions is straining their relationship

one of the saddest things I’ve read is the end of Jordan’s article where he says how much Austin’s friendship has meant to him but they have had to navigate it this year and he no longer knows where they stand

according to another interview when Jordan first got the seat Austin was texting him with good natured trash talk like they had done previously as TF rookies but it seems the pressure of the fans and the season has strained things

have people gone too far with online anger at Prock and expectation/criticism of Jordan to the point of affecting people’s real lives?

I hope they can silence the noise and work through this

here are both articles

Last year at Sonoma it was very underwhelming. This year I think it wasn't as bad but maybe still lacking a little. I'm not sure if there's still less drivers showing up or not.

been to a few NHRA races before but planning on doing US Nationals this year. mostly go to oval/dirt races pretty regularly most of the time there are a few tents selling just cool old shit (diecast/merch/shirt/various memorabilia) is there anything like that at a larger event like US Nationals?

I saw the All-Star Callout but I was surprised not to see them on Sunday. I know it's not the most popular but I was still pretty disappointed not to see it. I asked Alexa and she said it has something to do with Sonoma not being on the points schedule this year. I don't know if this has to do with NHRA's lack of popularity or less drivers participating but it sort of feels like it.

What going on, is it on a rain delay or something. Is that why it’s not currently being shown on Tv?

I just finished with the nascar cup race. And I was hoping to flip over and catch some of it.

But Nope. It’s a replay of the World Cup final. So my question is. What’s going on?

Was it rained out and rescheduled and i wasn’t aware of it.

What am I missing?

Have no clue whose signatures these are, tried google lens but I don’t trust it. The only one I can indefinitely make out is Paul Lee (directly left to the MBNA graphic). Google lens said John Force (pictured highest left closest to collar), Del Worsham (pictured under the “John Force signature” on the left), Austin Prock (pictured under the “Del Worsham signature” on the left), Kenny Bernstein (bottom most on the left), Matt Hagan (pictured above “Kenny Bernstein signature” and left of Paul Lee signature), Bob Tasca III (right most signature), and Jason Line (signature to the direct left of “Bob Tasca III signature”. If anyone can help identify these signatures it would help me very much. Bought the shirt from a flee market for 15 bucks.

They usually have seats in the blue area I circled. I don't know if they're really cutting down on attendance or if Ticketmaster just isn't selling them. I'm just curious.

Found this Speed Society Racing jersey at a thrift store. Anyone recognize either of these signatures?

Hi I was wondering what the difference was between the
Premium Pit Side Reserved and Premium Tier 1 Spectator Side Reserved tickets is thank you.
