Looks Like a Nice Hot Day & Night for this up-coming meet

Last time I was at the drags was a while ago and there were not many Fords.

Looking forward to this night - maybe one day I will run DRHEMI again.

I was there for a bit, probably left around 8:30ish. I saw a few of you guys around. Fair amount of xr6 T's out. Average night, but still alright.

I think you had sly worried in his LS1 ute, I think next time you race you should use NOS also....11.48 to 11.28 on the bottle..
it was a great race to watch, we thought you may have had him looking from the start line...
