Meet the Nitro Twitter Gang

I'm proud to be a part of a group that I consider to be the greatest drag racing "advocates" online, the Nitro Twitter Gang (#NTG). We're an elite gathering of die-hard drag racing fans, crew members, and drivers, including Top Fuel driver Terry McMillen, who has recently been dubbed the "poster child" of the NTG. We use various online outlets, such as Facebook and Blogspot, along with Twitter, obviously,  to show our enthusiasm for the greatest sport on the planet.

There aren't really any "gang leaders" in the Nitro Twitter Gang, but if there were, it's safe to say John Amorosano (@nitrojohn) and Steve Emerson (@sremerson) would be the leaders. They're probably the most active members, tweeting links to drag racing stories, promoting NHRA drivers' Twitter accounts, and organizing meetings at national events for NTG members. John and Steve are also two of the members that also blog. John's blog, John's Nitro World, has been online for a few months now and is one of the best NHRA blogs available. It highlights certain drivers or teams in the NHRA, many of which are part of the NTG, along with reviews of races that John attends. Steve's blog has only been online for a few weeks, so I can only write so much about it. Steve's Drag Racing Views features posts about some of the big stories in NHRA drag racing right now, like Tony Schumacher's winless streak and rookie Vincent Nobile's successful year so far. Both blogs are done very professionally and I look forward to reading their future posts.

If you're on Twitter, I highly suggest you become a member of the Nitro Twitter Gang. Basically, include the hashtag #NTG on your tweets, and you're in! If you're not on Twitter yet, you really should consider joining Twitter, as it's a lot of fun. I guarantee you'll make new friends on Twitter and with the Nitro Twitter Gang. You can find links to Steve and John's blogs, as well as their Twitter profiles on the Links section of this blog.

My next blog will either be about my trip to Murrell's Inlet, SC or the JDP Motorsports team's return to the track after a short hiatus. For those of you attending the O'Reilly Auto Parts Route 66 Nationals in Chicago, have fun and good luck!

Thanks for reading!
