Dennis Gorans won the 22nd Annual Hot Rod Nationals at Woodburn Dragstrip this past weekend, on Saturday he ended the day with a broken dragster and was going to sit out Sunday's eliminations.

Dennis & Dan Gorans along with friends made the repairs on Sunday morning and made the first round of eliminations, he defeated Roy Ranquist in the first round, then won a very close race in the Semi's with Rod Floyd and in the finals Dennis won the race running a 7.61 to defeat Russ Parker.

Our next race will be the West End Thunder Car Club race at the Forks Dragstrip in Forks Washington September 25th & 26th

“What Nitro and Women have in Common.”
Thoughts on the subject by Mike Floyd

Both can be found at the dry cleaners.
Neither one is at all predictable.
They both change with the weather.
Each acts differently at different temperatures.
Both can make your heart race and feel alive!
Neither one is much of a bargain.
They can blow up or melt down without much notice.
Each one is worth pursuing but hard to catch.
Both smell just great!
Neither like to be squeezed too hard.
They make a lot of noise.
Each could become volatile.
Both of them make drag racing the best sport.
Neither one can be mastered.
They will make your eyes water at times.
Each woman and each Nitro engine is beautiful!

So, if you don’t deal well with disappointment,
best shy away from nitro and women..........
or try your luck -

You may win a race against a blown alcohol car
and get your picture taken with a trophy girl!!!
