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.

VRA Fuel & Gas Finals
 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
