I didn't realize you enjoyed watching drag racing, Lee. Any others who enjoy viewing 1/4 mile drag racing? Geri and I attended a large indoor custom and classic car show, today. This morning, our local car club met, then caravanned down together for the 1.75 hour drive south to the event. While at the car show, we spoke to Brett Wagner, the host of Speed Channel's "Pass Time", a popular drag racing game show. He's almost as funny in person, as I am. He was a good sport and autograghed two posters for Geri and I.

I have done some bracket racing; more so in the past, than right now. I hope to run both cars a couple of times at the track this year.

Have you attended any drag racing events, Lee?

Haven't watched in quite while, but I used to frequent BIR in the 80's as both a spectator and part of a pit crew. :mrgreen:

I met Connie. Loved the Big Daddy. Had a friend who got his A&P license so he would be hired by one of them. He sent resumes for years. Saw him again in Phoenix and he had just gotten hired by one of them. He was so happy to never have to work on a plane again. I remember all those guys from when I was growing up. I like Pro Stock the most though.

Definately not something for Phoenix in the summertime. I have a daughter that lives in Phoenix, we don't visit in the summer. Pretty damn nice at Christmas though. Gotta completely change the wardrobe between Gillette and Phoenix that time of year.

I bet it's not as hot as standing behind this. This puppy will get you between Phoenix and Gillette in less time than Larry's scooter:

OK, let's slow it down a bit, and go with more conventional horsepower, rather than a turbine. This is the ticket to get those fields quickly plowed under, come springtime in Wyoming:

Man, I gotta go see one of those events. Went to my Sister's at Indianapolis one weekend, and they were having a big NHRA event. I could hear those doggies 10 miles away!

My gf loves speed, and trusts me way too much in my driving skills. She needs one of these to get to the legendary, annual Army & Navy shoe sale:
