The rockstar car coming back from the scales. Almost looks like one of those scale models huh?



Heading to the nitro pits. The atmosphere on Thursday is so cool.
I didn't know the NAPA trucks had the same paint scheme as the car!

Friday now, I see this self-contained A/V rig being pulled around.
