The new Mustang...with Hubert Platt on the door...

Someone else owns the car...it's just a tribute to Hubert.

The announcer said that there are 4 of them there at the race...S/N 1, 2, 3 and 4!

Cool deal here....the Cacklefest set up. They start these bad boys up (the ones that can be started) every once in a while. A cool history of drag racing!

Okay...last one for today.

For your amusement...Mike Neff's pit crew warming up his car. I am a good distance away for good reason...Nitro is nasty to breathe in (There IS a reason that all the pit crew wear gas masks...LOL)

Watch the people scramble as it gets a bit nasty...plus it sounds cool! BTW, right after I cut off the video...the lady in front of me spilled her beer...all over herself when they revved the engine. It was classic! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

To steal a bit from my "Very Good Friend" Mayor Schoenthaler; "If you run from the sound and smell of Nitro, you're a 'Sissylips'!" http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I got to meet and chat with Mike Dunn a couple of years ago. He made me feel like he had all the time in the world. After almost fifteen minutes of banter I excused myself and thanked him for the time. His reply was something like "Glad you stopped; it was my pleasure." A genuine guy.

Thanks for the coverage Buddy. Enjoy the rest of the weekend. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

Eddie...hurry and watch the Ashley video...you'll know who won before it's on TV! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Glad that you enjoyed my coverage! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/headbang.gif

That '65 SS Nova wagon is Greg Luneak's car. I knew him from many years ago. That car has won multiple national events since he's bought it. Greg is a top flight engine builder.

That's all folks...Time to sit and watch it on TV!

Yep Bruce that was me, had a blast and got paid for it. We were parked on Bonderant's helipad and spent most of the day near the finish line with the EMS and Fire crews, a great bunch of guys and gals. We were given restricted area badges, our own golf cart and could go almost anywhere, having a hot nurse with us also opened a lot of doors http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif. One highlight was a tour by Chad Head the Alan Johnson Racing Diector of racing operations of the Al-Anabi team trailers and work area. The most impressive area was the starting line when the Top Fuelers launched, talk about making like a dot. Hard to describe unless you go to hear, feel, smell and see it. It was an awesome experience and fortunately our services weren't needed. I know next year I will be begging my boss to do it again. Sometimes I love my job!!

[Xplantdad]

Very cool Dave...You made three circles right over our head...LOL

There's nothing like the ground shaking as the nitro cars go down the strip. It's a completely different experience at the starting line than at the finish line... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif
