Quite a few "Dude looks a lady" images.

Isn't there a code about not taking pictures in Vegas and posting on the internet for your children to see?

They would give another meaning to drag racing if you could get them lined up for a sprint!

Well we have been to the Sema show at the Convention Center. What a zoo! And way too much walking! And wow, has it gotten windy here again~

When we got back here, they were making you enter the divisional in order to get in the gate. It is so windy, we are waiting til tomorrow to make a decision about the Gamblers race. It is a head wind and it would be really bad if the car got up and the wind caught it!

We still don't understand why everyone else gets 2 runs before we get our 1st run?????

With over night lows around 40. S/SS running later in the day might work out pretty good.

Every year I go to Vegas to play in a pool tournament and from looking at your pictures I'd say every night is Halloween ! I see you found Fremont St. and it's always strange there.

Good luck and have fun!

Well the Gamblers Race has been cancelled for today. It is cold and windy and they have decided to postpone it until tomorrow to run in conjunction with the test and tune. Larry went up to get his money back and will wait and decide tomorrow whether he will race then. This has been the most disorganized thing that I have seen lately!

We were invited to the HRIA reception tonight at the Sema show by John McLeod of Classic Instruments. John is a A/SA racer from Michigan who drives a Drag Pak Challenger. He won the Sema best new product award. It is called the Sky-Drive and has to do with GPS and the speedometer. We are very proud of John and enjoyed celebrating with him along with Keith and Tonya Lynch. Here is a picture of him (on the left) with his guys and the trophy.

Well tomorrow is test n tune day and the Gamblers race. The wind has died down some and it is going to be pretty cold tonight.

More tomorrow.

It is bright and sunny here today. Wind is not nearly as bad. They are running test n tune and the gamblers race. Nothing much happening here for us today. Larry had entered the gamblers race yesterday, but got all his money back when they cancelled it. There were not but about 30 cars yesterday and I think there are less today. We decided not to enter today. We had to return our rental car today, so we are here for the duration.
