We are in Weed, CA just having a high old time. I would write more, but now we're hungry!!

It has been quite a drive today. Lots of 1000'-4000' climbs, then 6% grades back downhill. Just passed Mt. Shasta. Its elevation is over 14,000'.

I have taken a lot of pics today out the window. If any of them come out, I will post them tonight.

Chris, I'm betting Mom had the camera. But you can always dream.

Re: "Live" from the Western Swing
 

Wow lot of elevation .Have you checked your race car to see if it is still breathing lol. Keep the stories coming .I'm headed to Grand Bend Canada this weekend for the IHRA Nitro (NATIONALS).Good luck to you and Patsy this week.

We will be there in a couple of hours.

For a little recap of Seattle:

We met a lot of really nice people there. The 1st people we met were Dave and Lyn Rastad from Canada. He drives Shawn Kvaas's N/SA Pontiac. It was fun talking with them, plus he has a bunch of Mopars.

Then we met Phillip Marvetz and his wife Kelly. He has a Coronet with a Nascar hemi. He was telling us about all the stuff he buys on E-bay. They introduced us to the really cool people from Canada that brought in their cars and golf carts. Steve and Vicki--it was fun to meet them, too. They also introduced us to the Tiki bar people, Brad and Fran and the blender people Terry and Becky. Now that was the happening place to be! Belle Rose has nothing on these party-ers. Buckners--you would have loved the blender!

We also met lots of other really nice racers, and also Division 7 Director Mike Rice. If anyone is considering going to Seattle next year, I would highlly recommend it. But be sure you stop by the Tiki Bar at the 1000'.

Man Larry... You just about gave us 427/425 guys a cardiac! AT&T made some money yesterday... Shasta and the lake are gorgeous this time of year. Wait till you get down past the Sac River a ways, It dries up quick! I will stop by Friday to visit.

Larry and Patsy, I would just like to say THANK YOU for the reports and pics. Have fun and be safe. Please keep on reporting and keeping us informed.. I think National Dragster should put you on the payroll.......

Just spent a week in Mt. Shasta-have family there. City sits at about 5400 feet. Just enough to feel the thin air.

Glad you got to meet the "Tiki Bar" folks. They race at Mission-my home track.

Enjoy your trip!

You are correct Alan, it would have already been official (states in the AHFS that immediate hp change will be in effect on the Monday or Tuesday following the race), that race was the first of May.....But it was definately over 1.25 under. Funny how the LS1 stick got 12 instant HP for going less under.
