Highlights of the first day of the AAA Insurance NHRA Midwest Nationals

The on-track action at the Midwest Nationals was hot and heavy, and for a change, the weather was almost comfortable. After the humidity of Indianapolis, the heat and thunderstorms at Rockingham, more of the same at Charlotte, and the blast furnace conditions at Dallas, the relatively mild (only mid-80's) temperatures and moderate humidity made yesterday a walk in the park by comparison. Except the park in question had some very fast traffic, not much grass or shade, and a lot of people.

Here's a few teasers of what we witnessed on Friday. To see any more you'll just have to break down and visit the MORE Xcellent Adventures page. Sorry, but there's no way around it.
