NORWALK pictures..... better late than never
 

Hi everyone....
I would have posted these pics from this weekend's race at Norwalk earlier, but I couldn't.

I stayed at the MOTEL 6 and as they say.... "they left the lights on for me - but they didn't have any internet connection!"

So I'll post what I took this weekend over the next couple of days....

Re: NORWALK pictures..... better late than never
 

OK... lets start off with pictures of saturdays crowd.
This was the largest single day crowd EVER at Norwalk!
Plenty of free tickets were given away... parts stores, schools, etc.

Thanks to the Baders.... you put on a great show for everyone.....

After Chris was shut off (for dragging his collector), they pushed him back off the line.
Chris' Dad (David) shoes stuck to the track and he stumbled right out of them.
I sure hope he's ok.....
Nice meeting you and your crew Chris...

Re: NORWALK pictures..... better late than never
 

Nice to meet you Tom , thanks for the pics, we were slacking on the camera this weekend, I only brought the big bulky one and instead of walking around looking like a japaneese tourist, I opted to just enjoy and spectate.

It was a GREAT Weekend I thought, its been a long time since I could spend the weekend at the track not doing anything and after Saturday line mishap, well I got to do that and had a great time talking with all and ambling around.

The only other ones I got other that the ones I posted before were Mandie and Don, and Me and my kids. The whole ugly Drooze Crew.....(Well me and my kids, which it was pretty awesome to have up there) My 2 littlest ones Ive kept from the track, I didnt want them to get "bit" and choose their own road. But my mom took them home on Sat night and apparently Max my 6 year old was re-creating the funny car mishap all night with a model Prostocker I had given him......And my son David was explaining how to stage and run a tree (I should take lessons from him god knows hes better than I am)

And so Don dosent get in trouble I asked him to do that :D

Great job during the eliminator Tom. Sorry I couldn't remove your final round opponent earlier, maybe next year. Gene

Rock you are TOOoooo.. Old for her LOL..

Re: NORWALK pictures..... better late than never
 

Nice shots Tom, sorry i didnt get over on other side more, had a real busy weekend over on the wet side. Did stop by and see Chris, David & Mandie when they got there. Not sure why they pitted on grass side i know there where spots for their size rig on the other side.

Re: NORWALK pictures..... better late than never
 

Thanks for the great pics Tom. And special thanks for not showing me when I was rolling around on the track like a beached whale. As for being OK, only my ego suffered a hit. My rotund spare tire cushions kept me from any injury. Thanks for your concern.

Joe, as for parking on the grass side, we got there late Friday and were ushered over to the grassy side. Next day, we realized that we might have been able to get over on the good side. But as you all know, we are still learning, and we didn't want to ruffle feathers by making a wrong move so we just stayed in the grass.

Parking should be easier in Indy this coming weekend since the rain date makeup field will be smaller, and the next event doesn't start until Sunday, so they probaby wont be coming in as early as we do.. Thurs or Friday.
