10 years ago today--U.S. Class Nationals

[Geerhead55]

It truly was an unforgettable event. It was the first time I'd ever been east of Idaho. Flew into Chicago with my 2 sons on Thursday night and when I stepped off the plane I turned around and said"What the hell is this?" as my shirt stuck to me instantly,,also the first time I'd heard the term "Heat Index".
I thought it was neat that they honored Al Provoast by letting him make the first pass, and then called every stick car on the property to the lanes,,over 60 of them if I remember correctly.
The class elims were great and its still the only Top Stock show I ever saw, and of course Matt had everyone covered.
At the end of the day Saturday I went and shook the hand of the video man and told him he was one bad hombre as I never saw him leave his post, even to take a leak! He said he didn't have to go as it sweat out of him all day long. I hated that we had to leave mid day Sunday to get to the airport, we left just as the raindrops started falling.
I've still got the videos, T-shirts and decals, not to mention over 300 photos that I shot.
Great memories forever,,,Thanks again Alex and crew.
