Still managing a bit of a smile during the oft-delayed Toyo Tires Nationals at Maple Grove.

Re: Your Drag Racing year in a Pic???

Well...there are two that are kind of "Special" to me...

1)

When Jack came up to the mile high nationals to race, it was an awesome experience for me, especially since every round win came out of the lane I was working on the starting line!!!. As a friend, and fan of the man, having him come to "My Home Track" and win was very special. Especially since it was one year and one day from the time when he was at Bandimere talking to Schu and other teams about a "DEAL" for the next year. Seeing Jenna, and Jason and hanging with them all weekend was cool as well.

BTW: PHOTO CREDIT TO ALAN REINHART!!!

2)


This one was created by me, when somebody "ON ANOTHER DRAG RACING FORUM"...bobby's site.. Refured to DSR as "THE EVIL EMPIRE". So, being a fan and supporter of DSR, I decided to share "The Don's" Plans for his new HQ after the HD Partners agreement was finalized. I had fun with this one!

Many images of Eric, and Wally Parks are very special to me, as well!!!

Tim, yeah, I thought of that too after I wrote that, then felt like too much of a doofus to correct it.

Re: Your Drag Racing year in a Pic???

It took me a while because I'm unintelligent when it comes to posting pics on the Mater - I'll have to get better. (Thanks to Kelly for the assist!)

Anyway, a lot of you will recall that Chuck Beal held an Open House at his shop a while back and I was lucky enough to attend. After meeting Brandon (first on here, then at the shop the night of the event) and Chuck, I volunteered for and was accepted as a member of the team. It's been a ton o' fun so far and eventually I'll get my blogs caught up and tell you what I've experienced thus far... This whole Navy career thing keeps gettin' in my way!

Anyway, I stuck around a little later than most when the event concluded and was offered the opportunity to climb into the cockpit - it was heavenly!

I'd like to again publicly thank Chuck, Brandon & the entire team for giving me the chance to fulfill what has been a lifelong dream - the smile you see in the picture is as genuine as they come, I promise!

Thanks, Kathy!

Yes, that is my buddy Dean's 93" wheelbased, 565" powered, Fiero roadster. The thing is a freak of drag racing nature. It will go straight as a string with any motor we've ever stuff in the thing. He was running 8.07 at 164 with his new "weak" motor. He had a very bad ass 548" motor in it that went 9.90 at 171 at the Topeka national last year.

Re: Your Drag Racing year in a Pic???

WOW!

Not to get off of the subject of '07 pictures...

But thanks for sharing Greg. I really like that car. I hope I can add a SG/SR car someday...and when you only have so much room in a trailer...a car like that would be GREAT!!

Plus it's different! The only roadster I ever drove was a Gremlin with a 555 in it. I had never been in the car before until this picture....let alone a "door car"....it was a good friend's car. Drove it @ The Rock last Oct.....guess I should have added this to the '06 racing year in a pic.........lol

Don't spank me for messing up the thread!!







OK...I'm outta here.....headed to Orlando for PRI!

Re: Your Drag Racing year in a Pic???

We were shooting for a top fuel dragster and kinda missed.




A fun one for me.



Both of these are from Indy.
