Saturday Night Nitro

This spring's Saturday Nitro event ran a complete gamut of emotions for everyone involved. 

There was Mendy Fry emerging again with her Funny Car the Darkside win and setting a PR in speed. 

Joe Walla was there entertaining the fans and race teams. 

Sadly a great driver and stalwart of the sport, "Rapid" Roger Garten of the War Horse Top Fuel Funny Car, died last night from injuries during a wreck at the track. 

May Roger rest in peace.
