    Waaaaaaah! I wanna go to the races! :-(

     



    The Fuel Altereds are in Tucson, ...but I need to finish a car today!

    I suppose it isn't all bad. Work always comes first, ...but I've got a great job!

    I called the track, and they have 18 or 19 cars booked, including Winged Express, Rat Trap, and Nanook.

    Ooh well....I'll watch the Englishtown NHRA event tonight, and there's a car show next weekend. :-)

    I'm at the races right now
    They're running a flathead/inline class qualifying today for nationals tomorrow at Bandimere.

    Air is wet so the Firebird's off a bit today 11.78@111

    Cheers,

    Chris

    I know it's been a while but here are a few picks from the flathead race I was talking about. Not very good pics taken with phone and I didn't have a lot of time for spectating...

    These were taken at Bandimere Speedway in Colorado. They have a few flathead/inline events each year. They were qualifying for national event the following day.
