There has to be a first time for everything...

Here we go.........the mumblings of a dude with too much time on his hands.

I am still deciding if this blog should be about my life, my daily comings and goings, or just about Drag Racing. I first would like to thank Shannon for enabling us to keep a blog here at Nitromater.

For me the drag racing high that was Indy is still with me. Today I am wearing a shirt I bought at the Nitro Mall. In fact, I spent over $500 on shirts and stuff at the race. I get a bit giddy all year long wearing a shirt or hat that I bought at Indy. I thought the prices were ok, because I know the products will hold up. I often read posts by people complaining of rising prices at the Drags. Three bucks for a bottle of water seemed ok to me...and did it sure taste good. The six dollar beers were pricy, but not out of the ordinary if you are used to paying big city prices. The food was excellent, and the half pound burger at the Hot Rod Grill is still the best of the lot IMHO. I did almost have a panic attack when they ran out of Ketchup...but that's a story in itself.
