Yup that rain sure did suck, the car sure was dirty, had kind of film on it. It's all cleaned up now. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I was there, as a spectator, cameraman, and pit-crew for Team Rigged & Jimmied. I got to meet PSJ, TravorD, Pain & Timewarp and a few others <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> I too didn't see the colonel (he musta been hiding from us all <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" /> )

Had a great time, maybe i'll bring my own car down and represent for the team at the next shootout <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Hi, I was there to watch and it only took me an hour to get home. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> It was great to meet you guys and put a face to the names. Now if I can remember them in my old age. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> I hope everybody made it home without any problems. Jimmy

I came with the Chicago crew.(Larry from speed inc,Prostock John,Brad WS6,Fastr A4,Crawlin Bird, Z 9's) We drove the Crawlin Bird all the way from Chicago and I drove it to a new best.

12.29 ET
1.65 60ft
108.50 mph
3675 raceweigth
All passes were on motor.(couldn't find anyone with nitrous for sale) Car is a full bolt on car with GTP 5 cam with stock heads mildly clean up.

I entered the bracket class with the car. I won my first race ever. Then I lined up against the Coach. I got him on the tree .545 to .551 but only ran a 12.33 on a 12.29 dail in. I lost by .0096. <img border="0" alt="[whiner]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cry.gif" />

Coach's car is fly'n. It's a bad feeling when your looking in your mirror and a car is closing in fast. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Thanks to Thunder for having such a great event

My husband and I were there specatating. We were with PaiN and his parents most of the time. Met lots of people, like PSJ, Priscilla, some others from the Chitown area, Tom the Roofer, and others I can't remember right now. It was good to meet everyone and watch all the cars run. Can't wait for the LS1Tech event in Texas, hopefully be able to run in that one.
Us and PaiN's crew all went back home Saturday night, got home about 12:30 a.m.
Congrats to all the winners! We had a great time. Now I need to go watch my video from the event.
