We had a great time and ran a new best!! Not sure if I'd do it again though there was just way to much going on for me.

Wish I could have made it. Sounded like everybody had a blast. I am close but just came up a little short on time and funds but it wasn't from a lack of not trying. When is the schedule for next year coming out?


One day I will have something cool here.

The black 55 was a funny story.... He told the girls he had a super stock car in the trailer. So we sold him a nss entry. He came up twice during time runs and no one caught it.... Once we figured it out we let him know, gave him a refund and he was happy.

The minivan was running 12.20 IIRC (80's turbo van), I'm not sure what class it was in.

We had a great time, the delays sucked but what can you do.
With as many cars as there were running fast and hard mishaps are gonna happen.
It's not Josh's fault that the delays happen.
If something goes wrong, the cars need to pull over to the side. Some people weren't doing that.

Alot of cars left wheels up and then came down hard, when they did oil pans got smashed.

I believe it was this car that happened to late Saturday night. It left on the back bumper than came down hard with sparks flying.


At least he pulled over right away.
Unlike the guy that oiled down the track the entire length not one but two days.

Between the oil downs and it trying to rain Friday we were waiting in the staging lanes over 3 hours for a time run.

It seemed like every time we were called up someone oiled down the track.


Kayse and I were both in Street, her in her 06 Charger Daytona me in my brothers 2010 Challenger R/T.

Kayse lost in the first round Sunday, I got really lucky and made it to the Qtrs before I lost.
I guess that's not too bad for a car I'd never driven before driving it to Indy for MMW.
The drive by wire throttle makes it tough to get consistent reaction times.
On my last run the I hit the gas pedal as soon as the 3rd yellow came and the car didn't rev for what seemed like a few seconds.
Between that and loosing .5 a second on the ET (14.10 on a 13.61 dial in) I was out.

The Challenger ran a best run of 13.63 at 102 mph which is great except that in was in the first round of Saturdays gamblers race and I had a 13.70 dial in.

Kayse was definitely getting frustrated with the oil down delays but she was excited that she finally got into the 13's with a 13.89 at 99 mph run.

We left the track about 7.45 Sunday night (Indy time) and got home 12.30 am (St.Louis time) about a 5 hour drive.

We had a great time and will be ready to race again at MMW next year.

Thanks to Josh and all the people who helped put on a great event.


Kayse can't keep up at all now. lol

I too thank Josh and his sponsors !
Josh does an excellent job of trying to do the impossible (make everybody happy). Most guys don't have a clue how hard it is to organize such a huge event. I cant thank him enough for all his efforts,but thanks buddy!

See, Mopar people have a sense of humor and can laugh about stuff. They even gave the dude his money back.

I snuck into a Super Chevy Show once with my "Canadian Nova" and when they busted me they kept my money and called me all sorts of bad words. I was horribly scarred for at least five to ten seconds.

Great event. I will be back next year for sure. Here are my pics:







Can you tell I liked the funny car?







Nice seeing you HemiFred. Your friend (Jerry? I think) is a hoot. I got some funny Connie Kalitta stories out of him.





Wing cars on the autocross track







My drag car on the autocross track. I didn't hit any cones, but I sure didn't set any land speed records either.









'bird after the first boom. Wish I could have seen him run.

I missed the second boom...but I heard the announcer say they had to get the hood off to get the fire out. Poor bird.
