It needs to dry out, my kid has a baseball tournament in Iowa next weekend so my wife will be taking the truck with her. I have the options of taking my new Charger Scat Pack or my kid's Camry. If it doesn't stop raining soon, we will be rolling up in the Camry

Will that be fried...or barbecued??...lol...but I agree, a nice field of cars. I would say there's a possibility of resetting the quickest field ever in top fuel.

Not to go off-topic but how is your Scat Pack in terms of living with one? I can tell you the last time I sat in one at an auto show those leather/alcantera seats were really comfortable. I was looking on listings and since everyone and their mother is buying SUVs dealers are selling them for way below MSRP. If I had 50K lying around and needed a new car I would definately be looking at one. If I needed gas mileage and needed to go somewhere far away I can always borrow my dad's econobox.

Should be a great race! Love Route 66
I had a 2015 Scat Pack and loved it so much I bought a 2019 a few months ago. I still have kids I have to cart around to sports, so the 4 doors are a must. The car has the comfort of a family car and the power of a sports car.Not to go off-topic but how is your Scat Pack in terms of living with one?

The chicken thing is on hold. The weather forecast is looking better with the rain ending Wednesday and the usual "chance of rain" on the weekend. But, the forecast is for the 50's overnight so you might want to have a jacket handy or a winter coat and mittens for those visiting from the South. 
Chicken related - I know I have old east coast pics of Len Cottrell's TAD filed away somewhere. Did he sell his TAD operation last year and go Funny Car racing? BB/FC, NFC?

Jeff, It's nice to see you on the entry list. I don't know if you can say, but is this a one time thing with Jim Head; or are you his new driver??

I know the operation was for sale late last year, but don't know if it sold. Chicken Chokers (check rear wing)The chicken thing is on hold.

Fuel cars had a good outing for Round 1 of qualifying, not so much Friday night ... 7 funny cars and only 4 top fuelers made a full pull in Round 2 - cut & paste " clicked it off ". Disappointing way to end the day, especially for the casual fans who just want to see them run under the lights.
Then there was the interesting placement of the jumbotron, winston-vision, video screen at the starting line blocking the spectator side seats behind the starting line. Not a Fan of this idea, maybe they could put it in the midle of the tower for all to see? The pit side video board display is still at the top end. Hmmm... Grab some popcorn and enjoy the comments posted on FB.
