Right now, not a cloud to be seen, sun is shining straight into my window temp 55 just enough breeze to clear the tire smoke after the burnouts. So far a perfect morning, Super Street getting ready to start. I am enjoying it very much
Just curious Karl is there anything about Drag Racing that you like? You seem to have a negitive comment on pretty much everything.

Alan,
I've loved this sport over 45 years, went to my first drag race in '65. Grew up, as it were, at Lions, OCIR, the' Dale, heck, I was at the first Supernationals at OMS, because a couple of friends were racing. Last thing I did, the weekend before I went to boot camp March '73 was go to The Patch. Played gofer alot growing, after moving to the east coast, crew dawg'd on a couple of Alky flops in the early 80's, mostly match racing (booked in stuff) and one or two Div 2 races a year... made the choice, when the eldest was starting Junior High, that dad was needed at home...
I don't go to the races to see "The Show", but was 'lucky' enough to see Eric's last win. Normally, I just go to watch one car run, and the last few years it was the car Hopsing is Car Chief on. I've met alot of really great people at the track, including one of the few people I've ever had to look 'UP' to... Sunday Morning at VMP behind the 'blue' trailer while I was helping Justin untangle a chute... by the way, that AJ story was funny as chit.
I will admit, Growing Up, I was always partial to AHRA tracks, things seemed more relaxed. and Yes, maybe it's me, having grown up around Pop and Alky, yes they are special, but I was just as happy, in fact I think I enjoyed it more when floppers were running high 6 to low 7's at 220 and AA/FD was mid to low 6 at 230/240.
