It wasn't a good weekend for the NHRA female drivers/riders in Las Vegas last weekend.

Every female driver lost on holeshots, except two, and they lost on mental errors.

Melanie Troxel lost twice to quicker e.t.'s, once in the shootout and in the 2nd round to Brandon Bernstein:
B Bernstein, Right lane, (0.048) 4.566 327.43 def. M Troxel, (0.094) 4.561 326.79

In Funny Car -
Ashley Force lost in the final:
T Pedregon, Left lane, (0.070) 4.871 318.47 def. A Force, (0.130) 4.829 298.93

In Pro Stock Bike -
Karen Stoffer timed out, Angelle Sampey red lit and Peggy LLewellyn lost in the 2nd round to a holeshot:
Matt Smith, Right lane, (0.012) 7.134 184.60 def. Peggy Llewellyn, (0.080) 7.117 185.92

Colorado Rockies, Lodo, and Drag Racing








Here are a few facts about the Rockies, Lodo and Drag Racing...
1. I work across the street Coors field at Colorado Housing and Finance Authority (see picture out my office)
2. Colorado Housing and Finance Authority funds loans to companies creating jobs in Colorado...we financed Phoenix Apparel, Bruce Bowler's company, that is the official fine threads of NHRA.
3 Lodo is "lower downtown" in Denver...in lower downton, down a street called Wazee is the headquarters of Gates Rubber. 'nuff said about them.

There you have it...your trivia for the day.
