Cody Anderson with mom Kim just before his 1st @NHRA #ProStock competition run. His (.043) 6.632, 209.46 is 14th. Of the Troy Humphrey Motorsports decal he said "This one’s special. It’s how my dad started his career; to have that logo on my first car is an honor." #Gatornats

Kenny Horne, the Super Stock winner in Gainesville, was a finalist there in 1982. Now, at 74 years of age, he finally got his Gatornationals trophy! Congratulations, sir. @NHRA #Gatornats

Jeff Strickland knows Gainesville. Did you know: the @NHRA #Gatornats titlist claimed the Stock win in each of the last 3 seasons.... and it's 4 in a row when you factor in his 2021 win in Top Dragster. Even cooler - he doubled there in 2016 (TD & Stk). Photo: Auto Imagery 2023

Love visually telling stories, love the sport of drag racing, and more than anything else, love that marrying the two together has made an impact on people.
