Wow, a few weeks ago I was running at Douglas in a diesel race, in a 2WD diesel pickup (basically a Top Sportsman chassis with a sequential-turbo diesel engine). On my last pass (ran a low 9-something at 147), two antelope jumped onto the track in the top end. I was able to dodge them, but I had visions of antlers coming through the lexan windshield. I'll bet that guy hit one of my antelope friends.

Larry you all take your time getting back. The weather here is miserable. Heat indexes the next two days around 105-108.

check out the Morrison Inn, great food and killer margaritas. They are just around the corner
out of the track to the right 1/2 mile approx, within golf cart range.

Morrison Inn - Killer margaritas, but very average to below average Mexican food....

Well, it is another beautiful day here at the Mopar Mile-High Nationals. Super street starts out at noon, then stock. Weather calls for 93 this afternoon, with no rain til around 9, but it has been showering every afternoon. We are supposed to get 2 runs, then start class. I just hope the car gets down the track. It doesn't sound too spiffy with all the jet changes!

Well, I am going out to get some pics before we run. More later.
