We actually didn't fair too badly, Rachael and I pitted in the middle row, and we backed in. I kept an eagle eye on the tech area as we unloaded our stuff next to someone's monstrous tag along trailer, and as soon as a line started to form we jumped for it. A big guy in a floppy hat was directing people to the proper lane, and as he came closer, I realized it was Bill Fowler (CDMBill, Bangshift), who owns the big 71 Mustang convertible. It's not odd at all to see veterans of multiple Drag Weeks jump in and help whenever needed with the event. There are many jokes bandied about in regards to "The good ole boys club", or "insiders", but the truth is most guys who've done it a few times just try to make it easier, and better for everyone!
Rachael ran off to get fuel when the tech cards got handed out, so the HOTROD photogs caught me with two, filling mine out while trapping hers on the fender.

This is a good pic of the derringer I brought to fight with in the Modified NA category:
