Haha I love the "Caution Paper Car"!

Great pics. Who's owns Wilkes' old Hemi car (the Missouri Mule)? I think that's it.

The rains came yesterday and by last night there was little to do but put on some warm dry clothes and go visiting -- first stop was to my friends from MASGA who were celebrating Earl Nichols points championship win (see pic below ) at Tommy Goldman's who with longtime companion Kathy made several different kinds of Chili - great to have on a damp cold night ! !

Next stop was at Marc LeBreque's -- where they don't need a reason to celebrate -- they just do it .As you'll see from the pics Marc had a full "house" last night .Seems like everyone who came brought a covered dish deal and they ended up with more food and goodies than you can imagine .......And Marc -- opps --I know I promised to get your "good" side but which is it ?

So much for the food tour .....I know you won't believe this but as I type there are several noises that I'm hearing -- the first is OK -- rain hitting my coach roof and pretty hard ... the second is strange , very strange for sure -- I swear I'm hearing the vacumn running on the track - no really -- I think they are vacumming the track in the middle of a rain storm -- and yes , I've already taken my meds this morning -- maybe its not raining over there - they must have lights on that thing because its still dark out .Maybe there is more hope for today than I thought .............BTW - the temperature this morning is warm compared to last night -- must be sixty degrees already -- but the skies look mean and nasty......later .

Soon -- that is what NHRA officials are telling me -- under an hour starting with S/S time shot then on to Comp and Top Sportsman stuff .The Jets ( both of them - 1 gas - 1 kerosene ) have been running for almost two hours and the track is not yet perfect -- Cost Factoid ... Did you know that each of these Jets uses more than 3 gallons of fuel per minute ? Do the math -- its stiff -- ouch .

We're on the track finally with S/S class elims -- Hemi shootout coming up....

The weather is really in the toilet today -- over 2700 ' already and climbing -- most are off more than a tenth because of the air and there is also a wind issue .... and the skies can open any second .Great day to be here ............................
