I love hanging out with the Wannabe's... at just a tad under 6 ft, I look like a shrimp in the ocean... The great thing about these big guys is that they wouldn't intentionally start anything with anyone. Just good people!

BTW, I got to see the Buzzz and the Slant Eyed Fish Heads on Friday night at the West Coast Hot Rods race... That man nailed "Seek and Destroy" by Metallica, which is not an easy one for sure! It was a great time.

Hey Travis, that guy giving play by play is probably my uncle calling me giving me updates as I was suppossed to be there today, but had an unexpected "accident" last night while putting chlorine in the pool! I got a "lung full" of chlorine gas straight to the face and can hardly breathe today, so I am pretty pissed at myself that I had to miss todays action.

Take care of yourself - that's scary.

Some goober in the back of the crowd held up a sign that read WHIT'S A CRYBABY- that's if my memory is not failing me! I was kind of leary about mentioning it at first because I didn't want everybody thinking I was on the Whit bashwagon.

Thanks, Mark. I try to read a lot of those signs, but missed that one.

you won't be sorry. The people in TEC are hardcore and are there to watch the race.

I second that Bob. We do the TEC in Topeka and while it is pricey indeed, my pals and I believe the food, great seats & parking are worth the extra bucks. Plus we see the same regulars every year. Up until this year we had the same usher who wouldn't let anybody stand in our way to block our view. They had a new kid this year & we had to break him right.

Since watching the backs of everyone's heads at Pomona top-end in 1990, I've always done TEC on my NHRA trips. $325 for 4 days of the world's best drag racing, great seat, food & drink, surrounded by nice people ... Expensive? You're kidding. Has to be the best bargain in sports.

I agree I went to Memphis last year and we had the jumpers. Well I decided to pay the extra for the super seats at Texas it was pretty good on Friday not very many people. Then Sat was horrible couldnt see people would'nt sit down and they watched every race not just the fuel cars. What suprised me about Texas is I never really saw the mad dash from the stands in between the fuel and sportsman. All I really wanted to watch were the ProMods but that was'nt going to happen as I also had Bob Frey next to me telling everyone around him that the Force daughters were going to run Pro Mod next year, annoying with all the information out there how can you not know what is going on. I am starting to think that you have to drop thousands on a suite....

We will only spectate at Indy if we have the TEC seats. It really is a bargain, if you break it down. Great seats, no standing to see, go down below to the tent when you need to cool off and watch the TV monitors, continental breakfast in the morning and a really good lunch every afternoon, coolers of ice tea & lemonade going all day, and for a few bucks more you can park very close by. If I have any gripe, it's not price, it's the fact that I wish the seats were spread out a little more, but other than that, the TEC is THE best deal going.

Chicago is good if your in the bowl, there is no reason to stand.

If my kids are going to the race I try to get fron row so that they can actually see.

The umbrella putz. I would have asked nicely, they yelled, then offered to either remove it or have it implanted for them Can't believe the rudeness of some people.

When you have the standers just yell to sit down, its amazing how many people will join you.

I never seem to have any problems, I just work hard for my spot, and don't mind moving around, good thing is when TAD/TAFC are on there is hardly no one around so I can just sit back, relax and watch some good racing Mind you Reading this year was tough, that place was PACKED!!!

I actually heard a classic on Saturday. After Pro Stock Bikes and Pro Stock I heard the guy behind me tell his friends....."OK! Time to stand up! That's what everyone does for the Nitro cars!"

ACK! That group was quite a bit of entertainment. We were cracking up at them picking winners in round 4 of quali's.

I would have been shoving that umbrella up someone's...

I can't believe it has rolled all the way down to me to have to ask,,,

Travis, is there some reason you didn't say "HI" to Kelly when you had her that close to you in the stands??

Kelly, shouldn't you have said, something,,Like Hi Travis, I am mater Kelly, when he was staring at you??
