This could be as much fun as the March meet. See everyone at the Doubletree tonight.

Jay, sorry I missed but we get together for sure at the MM.

It was cool! when was the last time you saw 32 nitro funny cars qualify for an 8 car field? Also kudos to all the funny car racers as nearly every run was side by side and no oil downs. This is a better show than the big show. I will have pics on Cap Racing Home Page later today.

Hey Rich,

When you guys were in the staging lanes, I dropped by to say hi.
You were in your tow vehicle, with the seat fully reclined and sleeping!
Didn't want to wake you from your beauty sleep

Will bump into you some other time, ok sleeping beauty?

Seriuosly nice pass the car made! Great work! I was at the 330' mark. Looked amzing the whole way.

I'm interested in your review of the facility and the whole nostalgia scene compared to the big pro show.

Absolutely, Rich. With so many cars trying to make a relatively small field, I thought they'd be blowing up left and right. Obviously not the case at all! I had a blast!!!

Ha ha! You should have woke me up.

Well, I'll tell you what Paul. Some jack ass turned on his generator at 4AM and it woke me up and I was never able to get back to sleep. Knowing we'd be driving all night I decided to get a quick snooze in until we were able to move up.

Yes, it was worth the wait as Vic made a great pass. I just wish they hadn't allowed the top fuel car to make an extra run after that 40 minute oil down from the last pair.

Paul, the track reminds me of Sacramento. Go to Cap Racing Home Page for the review on the nostalgia vs. the big show as i just posted it.

Ha ha! You should have woke me up.

Rich it was great to finally meet you and Vic, you seemed to be having a great time at the Reunion and Vic was working the crowd!

Yep..., Uhh.., Hm.., Hmm.., someone needs to have a talk about this. This doesn't need to happen at the MM, or next years CHRR! Folks I've had contact with agree the events in question were not neccessary.



P.S. Unrelated to the post above. I was just touching bases with someone, and they seemed to indictate, Hmm.., Hmm.., that when one of the Nitro cars seems to have been held up at the line, which ultimately may have resulted in a lose & a hurt motor? It was passed on that the fall out of these events appeared to have evolved into a personal engagement of shorts in the shut down area. Yep, always unfortunate to here about such matters.

to be all about. I could not have made it there without the help of Rich Bailey
