Robert, with Dad and James as passengers, followed Boone and Dale in the Barnyard out to the track. Darren and I made a quick stop at the station for some 91 octane to compliment our nitrous at the track. I sent Rachael in to buy some ice, but most of the guys had beat us to it, so we only managed to get three bags.

The first three days, the one and done, we want to be first in line guys had clogged the lanes early, and made it tough to get a quick hit at the track. Many of those guys in the class cars must've slept in on Thursday, or decided to do some wrenching when they arrived at the track, because a couple of the early birds were actually hot lapping in the first 30 or 40 minutes the track was open. The biggest offender was Ray and his "Black Pearl Barracuda", he was really working the G3 hemi over going 10.65,10.62 and 10.62 in the first 25 minutes of track time. I swear he must've had his own staging lane!
