Oh hai. :p
I took some pics at the yearly Holder's heating and air conditioning / Chuy's mesquite broiler fuel altered classic this past weekend. This year it was with the Div. 7 event, so the pics are mixed.

Let's go!

So I always stop at the sponsor (Chuy's) and get some grub. A motorcycle club was there having a birthday party or sonthin' and a live band was playing. (they were rockin' good!)

the pic was kinda funny to me because he was in serious mode, and I crouched in front of the dragster to take the pic. I didn't see him put the smile on because I was looking thru the viewfinder. Later, when I got these pics on here, I noticed he had turned the charm on for the camera. What a ham. :p

It was something simple and they fixed it right away. It cleaned up on the next re-fire.
