First NHRA Event

There were only 21 stock/superstock cars there for the race. We got 6 qualifying shots, four on Sat. and 2 on Sun. before eliminations. The track was a little slick on Friday, but Sat. and Sun. were better, but the wind was pretty bad with gusts all day on Sunday. I didn't want to forget some of the Superstock crowd, you guys were great too. I got a chance to talk to MR. Kennedy, and that was eye opening on some of his experiences. I also got a chance to qualify next to Kip Martin,,,, THAT was a blast,,, distracting is an understatement to watch that mustang drag the bumper in the lane next to you. Overall, I had a smile all weekend and for several days after. I just might have to do this more often.
