"Live From" NHRA 4-Wide National zMAX Dragway

Hello everyone, I just finished loading up and I'm ready to hit the road. Unfortunately I could not get my Shelby ready for this race. Fortunately I was able to get a car at the last minute. Thanks to Sal Biondo, I was able to take his 77 Firebird. It’s usually at my house or close by, so it was easy choice.

I should be rolling in tomorrow afternoon. I will have plenty of photos and as many in car cams as can get done for this weeks race. Then weather looks great and I'm so looking forward to a road trip.

Talk to everyone tomorrow.

Jeff, thank you sir. Vic, thanks for the offer, it was a last minute deal.

Just pulled into the stacking area behind the circle track. Only 50 rigs inline and they are pulling us in as I type.

Red is in the house so parking should be a breeze. Parking a day early will make it go so much smoother for the next two days. I don't think there will be much of a wait for anyone.

Be back later.....

Ford powered....hmmm

Not many cars out and only about a 100 rigs here. I did find a few along with Mike Skinner's 2014 AAA/SA Cobra Jet #17 driven by his son Kevin. The new 14's are vey cool and I love the flat black paint. Ford did allot of nice little touches and upgrades from the previous models.

The 14's CJ are also very fast right out box, should fun watching the new combo run. I will try to get an in car cam for tomorrow.

Tech opens tomorrow and the weather looks great for this weeks race.

Going out to get some food, I'll be back with more info tomorrow.

Right on Ken! I have to believe that you must be having that great GM feeling! Maybe a Mr. Goodwrench tattoo!

"Rigs" being the key word. Don't you miss the old days of a tow bar behind a station wagon or driving your Stocker to the track?

Sal, you detailed it well and I will post one tomorrow.

James, I'm okay with anything that has four wheels, but no tattoo's for me.

Tom, I don't miss open trailers one bit. Give me a Motorhome and enclosed trailer any day. Now driving a stocker to the track, that could be fun.
