Looks like it was great fun! I know it was when we attended in 2010. Great pictures Dr. J and Alan! This looked like so much fun that we are thinking about maybe coming next year!

Congrats to the winners!

A BIG Thank You to everyone that contributed to a great weekend of
first class drag racing! As noted in the previous posts (by my wife Lydia and others) the entire event met or exceeded everyone's expectations. A special thank you to my wife for the "LIVE" reporting efforts,photos,keeping me in line,and most importantly noticing a rear tire clearance problem that turned out to be a missing rear suspension bolt. Major on track malfunction
avoided by her casual but critical observation. (BTW nothing was noted on the hoist prior to leaving for this race- no parts in the trailer-??) Parts can come loose during travel and fall off at the track prior to first TT.

I guess I will have to do something real special with her for her upcoming birthday
