I went to Martin with Randy(Lab Rat) yesterday (he
drove... thanks Randy) and watched a BUNCH of good
racing.... and did ALOT of BSing with old friends.
The weather was cool but perfect for racing with
scattered clouds.... the track was hooking good and
seen a few of the Hemi SS cars leave their trans on
the starting line. The day was just what I needed from
working on my shop.... but it was a long day. Randy
picked me up at 7 in the morning and drove both to
and from the track.... 200 miles each way.... Randy and myself hung out at
the stating line most of the day(I love hanging out
there just so I can watch the car's launch to see how
their chassis's and suspensions are working). As
usual there were lots of beautiful cars to see(Mopar
people really do have some nice rides).
By the time Randy dropped me off at home last night
it was 1:30 in the morning..... long day... but well
worth every moment..... back to the grind today on
the shop.
Congrats to all of the racers and WINNERS and CC Event
as well the 131 track personal ....... I hope all
of you get another great day today.... without any
issues

every man need's a day away from the everyday grind,sure wish I could of been there and hung out with you and chewed on your ear awhile.

How was the turn-out ? ... racers, manufacturers, vendors, swappers, show cars ?

Hey Raff,

I apologize 1 million times over for not being social.. I'm sure you understand where my mind was. Everything ia apart and things don't look good as I expected.

No problem Bubba.... I totally understand.... it
a bummer about your engine

Mike, it was good talking to you and Randy, and thanks for watching my car launch. I checked out that anti roll bar and it looks like its just what I need for that body flex. I'll be talking to you later about it. Thanks again.

This year, was the most fun I'd ever had.....for not racing.

Congratulations to Pat Norton(1BadLilCharger) for
taking top honors in the 10.00 Shootout..........and
Lonnie for pulling off a R/U with an .021 light
(to Pat's .007) in a car he'd never driven.

Sorry I didn't stay and chat Mike. I was heading
for the starting line and you were already busy.


I have several pictures but, mostly SS/AH cars.
I'll post them over in the SS/AH thread if they
don't care.

Nice to meet you Scott.

Guess who.

Another from 1st round eliminations.

I need to work on my action shots.

A little truck from the CRT camp in 10.00 Shootout.

I have no idea how I could've NOT got a wheels-up shot of
1BadLilCharger's Dart! I could have walked under his front
tires on any launch.

Moparts lurker Mark Lindenbarker launching his beautiful
65 Dodge........and giving rowing lessons on his 5-speed.

Don Gentry giving his new tires their proper Christening.

I had to get Jeff Johnsons alcohol-injected BB Dakota, from back home.

I had to get a few for Brett.
