Racers and fans alike are out in full force at the Pomona Dragstrip this weekend for the Lucas Oil NHRA Winternationals motorsports competition.
The competition consists of ten categories, including top fuel dragster, pro stock and fuel funny car races.
Cooler weather in the area for Sunday’s races may make this year’s Winternationals the fastest in the competition’s 65-year history, according to lead broadcaster Brian Lohnes.
“You have to think of it kind of like a marathon…if you want to run a marathon, you don’t want it to be 90-degree weather – you want it to be cloudy and cool,” Lohnes told KTLA 5’s Erin Myers. “That’s exactly what we’re going to have…the cooler it is, the faster the cars go, and for 65 years we’ve run the Winternationals here, this could be the fastest one we’ve ever had.”
