Good luck to all and I hope it is an awesome event.

Well it is raining, thundering and lightning! They are still pulling rigs in! But tech has stopped for a while I think!! I only got a few pics before it started, but here they are:

Joe Teuton SS/AH

A pickup truck full of those awesome Goodyear tires!!

A picture of the picture taker==Alex Owens and NHRA tech!

Gotta keep up on the news!

Stuck in line 1/2 mile from the hill. Ouch!

Yeah, it's pouring rain and I am still waiting in line to get in the track. Have been for 3 hours now. ...

We got detoured off to a side road that runs up to the main gate by the roller coaster. They closed the gate in front of us once myself and quite a few other rigs pulled up, and they're letting in the rigs off the main entrance still. I'm hoping they don't forget us but we've been sitting here not moving for 3 hours plus

Got to the hotel at 1300 started sprinkling at 1330 now it is a total deluge. If anyone sees Chuck Beech tell him to call me.

As we approach 5 pm it's only raining slightly, they are now pulling rigs into the staging lanes for the evening. There are some serious ponds here as a result of the rain. Tomorrow will be interesting .....

They are already running the 4 wide Motorhome & trailer combo bracket race on the top end...staging lanes are just that...staging for the 4 wides.

I just talked to Chuck. He got here took one look turned around and is headed home. Any idea what time this race may start tomorrow?
