The upside down pic just shows what a good time you guys are having ...Keep up the good work with the pics...I'm sure its not like living the real experience, I can only imagine... Its making me jealous for not being a part of it with or without a car in the event. This thread is no comparison to reading just a list of cars with speeds.

Well... Jerry didn't have the mental capacity, nor the inclination to teach me how to engage LC at 7am. So what would you do, if you were racing someone else's car and the owner is nowhere to be found? Why, Google how to do it while waiting in the staging lanes, of course.

Matched his time exactly, down to the tenth. Oh well, there's always next year.

Good time down here, fellas. Make an effort to attend.

We are out trapping a ton of cars here today. The track is slow compared to the other track (chaged locations this time) and everyone seems to be 5-8mph lower then what they should trap.

oh and clayton can't drive worth a crap, i have video proof!!!

more pics are up on our website...

Can't rotate them where you are hosting them if they get loaded upside down there for some reason?

Any updates on the wipeout at 238mph? Driver doing okay? Wild to think that was 20mph faster than than the Dan Wheldon crash.

Yes he lived. He was pretty messed up, broken ribs, rash, knee skinned down so his kneecap was showing. He wasn't moving for the first five minutes and life flight took him ten minutes post crash. I was next to run when he went down and hear everything live on the radio.

A few crashes today, mostly bikes. There also was a blown engine that caused delays but all on all it went well. This track is slower then the other location but gets the job done
