From ideas initiated in the summer of 1983, this organization has grown to include NHRA national event announcers and local announcers from every NHRA division. Wally Parks and Bernie Partridge were the founding forces to set the standards for this group. The purpose of the Track Announcers Guild is to promote higher quality track announcing by instil- ling professional pride, giving guidance through special aids and communications, and to bring recognition to this important part of the drag strip operation. The TAG membership includes the bi-monthly newsletter, TAG Line, which provides news and top- ics to members; TAG seminars, meetings, a pin, decals and a special membership card for admis- sion to one NHRA national event per year; discounted merchandise opportunities from MainGate Inc; discounted fees for NHRA membership; and a subscription to National Dragster. Announcers are the voice of every drag strip operation. They keep the spectators and racers in- formed and sell the drag racing program. Membership in the Track Announcers Guild will make every announcer more informed. That benefits everyone involved with drag racing. You can become a member by sending $75.00 for your TAG membership to: Track Announcers Guild 3130 Quail Ridge Road Bettendorf, IA 52722 You will also need to include a check for $30 made payable to NHRA for an associate NHRA membership if you are not currently a member of NHRA.

  • Capps, NAPA Start Celebration for 50 Years of Funny Cars with Win at Winternationals, Start Mello Yello Season on Fox
    Ron Capps celebrates his Winternationals victory with his NAPA team and family: from left, dad John, wife Shelley, son Caden and mom Betty. Capps, NAPA start celebration for 50 years of Funny Cars with win at Winternationals, start Mello Yello season on Fox Last Sunday was Valentine’s Day but the season-opening NHRA Circle K Winternationals in Pomona, Calif., didn’t show much love to Don Schumacher Racing. That is, unless you are Ron Capps and the NAPA AUTO PARTS team led by crew chief Rahn Tobler and assistant Eric Lane who opened the 2016 NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series season by winning the Funny Car title to begin a special year that commemorates the 50th anniversary of the Funny Car. Their 2016 Dodge Charger R/T was the only one of seven DSR entries to advance past the second round of Mello Yello eliminations and they went all the way. Capps and the NAPA team were dominant all weekend during the first of 24 national events with seven of their eight runs in the 3- second range including all four in qualifying that helped the team earn the No. 2 spot. “I have the best team in the business, and they gave me a great racecar,” he said. “All four runs in the 3s in qualifying, I don’t think anyone else did that. I knew we had a good racecar. Tobler and I have grown so much together. It’s like a marriage. He really keeps me in line on race day. We had a heckuva day.” And it was a banner weekend for NAPA Racing.

Don Schumacher Racing (DSR) driver Jack Beckman helped extend the Dodge Charger R/T Funny Car’s consecutive streak of No.1 qualifier positions to four this season with another record setting run, while his teammate Ron Capps, who has one of those pole positions along with two final round appearances so far this year, will miss racing on Sunday for the first time since 2013. Mopar Pro Stock driver Erica Enders saw her incredible round win streak at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway stopped at 23, but is hoping that Sunday will bring an end to the string of first round losses that have plagued her this season.
