'Mater rocket man Doug checking out the finals after running his car.

Doug reports the racing surface to be as smooth as glass.
I overheard from other racers that it was the best it has ever been prepped.
Great visiting with you Doug.

After the race, In & Out burger on Panama lane had a mini cacklefest with the astro car and the vagabond car

It was great day, started around 6 am with a full moon overhead, got to Bako and was sunny mid 80's all day, very nice.
The stands were packed! I went for the NF/C's, also greatly enjoyed other faves like NE1 and AA/GAS.
Not too many good looking girls out there today

Missed lots of good picture oportunities, sorry......
