03 Aug 2014 Kent, WA – For the 27th time the NHRA brought the National tour to Seattle. Hot weather with a brief delay on Friday for some sprinkles brought the fans to the seats to watch the fastest sport on wheels.

Those who attended all three days saw non-stop action with sub four second times with speeds hovering around 320 mph. From the Top Fuel class to the 10.90’s in the Super Street class for the sportsman racers, there were eleven classes contending for the coveted “Wally” trophy, which brings many racer’s to the strip for a chance at a very hard to get trophy from a National event.

It was great to see Seattle Native Mark Lyle, the chief starter for NHRA back in the northwest.  The North Bend resident was able to enjoy time home during a national event.

The Northwest Nationals winner’s for this year are:

TOP FUEL: Doug Kalitta over Antron Brown
FUNNY CAR: John Force over Gary Densham
PRO STOCK: Jason Line over Greg Anderson
T/AD: Joey Severance over Chris Demke
T/FC: Doug Gordon over Sean Bellemeur
