Most of posts that you will see on this blog are about team sports. We very frequently report on Baseball, Hockey, Football and Basketball. We sometimes report on Soccer and Lacrosse as well. We do take time out to report on Boxing as well. Today we are heading for the Drag Strip to report on the Gatornationals.
The Gatornationals are held at the Gainesville Raceway in Gainesville, Florida near the University of Florida campus, the home of the Florida Gators. The race is held in March every year as the first East coast event of the racing season. The race was first held in 1970.
On March 20, 1992 qualifying for the race was underway. Veteran racer Kenny Bernstein was looking to make his mark on the race. In his second qualifying run he became the first drag racer ever to break 300 mph when he hit a time of 301.70 MPH. The milestone fell at 4:42 PM, history was his.
The answer to yesterdays trivia question is there were eight clubs that expected to be a part of the 2010 United National Gridiron League when the league pulled the plug and did not hit the playing field. The eight clubs were the Alabama Blackbirds (Birmingham), the Dallas (TX) Bluestorm, the Georgia Slashers (Columbus), the Louisiana Lancers (Shreveport), the Miami (FL) Scorchers, the North Carolina Comets (Winston-Salem), the Ohio Marauders (Massillon) and the Virginia Swarm (Salem).
Todays trivia question is a two parter, who hit Major League Baseballs first grand slam home run? Part two who hit the first World Series grand slam? The answer in tomorrows daily blog on working overtime.
