Without the fans there would be no drag racing. Realizing the importance of the people, young and old, who come to see the nostalgia races, Posse member Billy "The Kid" Robins decided to start a "fan club" and give the Nitro Thunder supporters the credit they deserve ... especially the kids who are the future of the sport.

When time allows at the races, Billy will take photos of the fans and they will be added to this page. We hope you enjoy this Nitro Sheriff feature.

 

Unfortunately Billy's camera threw a rod early on and there are only two shots to add from the Finals. The first is a father and his three daughters who will be wearing their Nitro Thunder shirts everywhere.

One of Jack's biggest fans is Michelle Read (here with Manny Maldonado) who not only matches the red motif but is much easier to look at than the Posse!

This shot from Sacramento is Natalya from Russia. Her American father sent it and wrote: "Tell jack and the rest of the team they're the "best". Natalya had the greatest day because of them, it really made an impression on her. In her words, " they are so cool". I got the E-mail Jack had Don (Ewald) send me with the link of the race, I gave it to Natalya and when she saw the team picture with her in it (below) she got so excited again, it really made me smile.

You guy's are great! thanks from me so much. If I lived closer to you guy's I would love to be part of your team. Natalya left for Russia , I took her to San Francisco airport 2:00 Am on Sunday so she is home now. Before she left I printed a couple pictures from race day. Natalya wrote Jack (Harris) a letter and she included her address in Russia and her e-mail address. Well I better get this off to you now talk to you soon." Ernie
