Hey Rick, glad to hear you're coming! It'll be good to see you again, and I'm looking forward to meeting Bob and all the other attendees. Are you bringing that bad Challenger that I took all the pictures of?

I was on schedual and planning to make the journey, and also hit the Mean Street race in Jackson Tn. on the way back Sunday till i dropped a head on the copper gaskest yesterday and ruined the gasket while reaching over the fender and around the mastercylinder. I should have one showing up here this morning. Really unsure at this point..
Thrash, thrash, thrash! You can do it we have faith in you. You dont wanna miss this race. We thrashed on ours all the way til Wed nite so I know how it is. Good luck and hope to see you tomorrow....

We're here. Any locals know what the best pit spots are?
Scott, once thru the gates,veer up to the left and the majority of the pits will be straight ahead of you. Near the head of this area, more or less in the middle, is a water spigot in case you have jugs to fill. You can then veer more to your right if you want to pit up against the track, but this can be bad if the staging lanes get really backed up, as you may find it difficult to get out. Different people have different preferences, but the best area, especially for a big rig like yours, would probably be just past that water spigot location, more or less in the middle. Once you unload, head back up in the direction you came from, and tech is in the far right lane of the staging lanes, near the restrooms.
Then, if you need to go back to the pits and not get in the lanes yet, you can go straight ahead and then loop around to your right, going behind the restrooms. Otherwise, head over to the top of the lanes. Unless they've changed things, for test-and-tune purposes, quick and/or slick-tired cars stage out of the two leftmost lanes, closest to the track. Best bet is to ask the tech guy, in case they want anything different. See y'all in a little while.

Small line of storms heading east has already gone through Evansville and should be here around 2:00 or sooner. These are moving fairly quickly and it's clear behind that, so things will be looking good for the race. Come on down!

Not many showed some of the cars are in two photos. not sure if the red dodge truck was a mopart or not??? I always liked those little trucks! we got two awesome T-shirts and do highly recommed those who did not attend to order some they are well worth it !!! Kudos !!!! for those that drove all the way from mississippi and especially Oklahoma & other long distance drivers, that is REAL dedication !!!!!! we only drove 180 miles one way a round trip of 360 miles and did not even bring a car, but we sure got some cool t-shirts to wear to the hot rod reunion next weekend! soooooo where was everyone else????? we expected to see a moparts crowd

the times we saw today ran in the 5's and low 6's
the Belvedere WAS a very nice car
the four door Belvedere ran in low 7's he told us. I am trying to remember we both think he said 723 but not sure. I did not get his time today but that is what he told us.
if you could not run in the 5's today then best to go right on home.. these were some fast efficent cars!!!

Bill May made the quickest pass but Tony's consistency was hard to beat. The normally aspired B1 Powered Dart was impressive and really sounded good. When it took out Bill May on a hole shot I think everyone really got everyone's attention. Up to that point Bill May had the quickest qualifying pass an was favored by most to win. All the cars were awesome and I am sorry but I don't know some of your names. The white duster from Mississippi was very clean and made a more than respectable showing for the small block guys. With a little more luck on the draw his outcome could have been much different.
BigSqueese's 4speed street Dart is impressive and real easy on the eyes. The detail of a restored car with a little deception for good measure. He had to burn some of the dead rubber off of the quick times on his first pass and spun to the 330 and still ran a low 7.
The blue Charger from Tennessee was very nice and layed down some respectable times.
Tony's car looks just as good in person as it does on the net. Sorry I did'nt get to converse with him more.
The blue Roadrunner was in the thick of things but it was having some traction problems.
Bondo's, Big Show and Bill Mays cars really have to be seen to be believed the attention to detail rivals a high dollar restoration or street rod. Not to take anything away from the other cars present as ever car there was very impressive in one way or the other.
The Silver Fish is a nice example of a of a 10.5 car and if they had not had mechanical problems very well could have won. But runner up ain't bad.
Glad to meet everyone that I met and hope to meet more at the next get together.
Getting old just means you were smarter than some and luckier than others.

I posted this on the N2OMSTR winner thread too but this also has a link to my photobucket album with the pictures I took in it. I was there watching in the stands and a big "THANKS" goes out to all you guys for getting this together and congrats to N2OMSTR. I'm a big Mopar fan and love to see guys going fast in these cars...was great inspiration for me to hurry up and get back to finishing my car. I've got some pics of the guys in the staging lanes and up on the starting line I can post over the next few minutes. Also, saw headhunters BEAUTIFUL Cuda back in the pits. I NEED to know what that color is...it's GORGEOUS. Again, thanks to all the guys who got this set up and to all the participants for coming. It's good to see the Mopar crowd out at the valley, which is usually dominated by 3rd gen camaros and fox bodies. Wish I could've gotten to talk to some of you guys but I couldn't get to the track before 7 and plus, I haven't been active enough on the forum to get to know any of you guys yet. Awesome show, hope it becomes a normal thing at the Valley! http://s1177.photobucket.com/albums/x350/MoparManiac17/That's the link to the photo album

Seen some really nice race cars. I know there were other there but we did travel 6 hours just to spectate. Ive got pictures as well Ill have to upload. Just got back home so a little disoriented. Let me get my thoughts all back together. LOL!!
