I know what you mean by standing by Top Fuelers. I went to my first NHRA drag race ever, about 3 weeks ago. We were right by the starting line when two of them were getting ready to run. My brother-in-law, who has been to these before, talked me into keeping my ear protection off for the start. Let me tell you that was one experience I will never forget. :o

I can imagine a conversation with that guy ...

"Hi Glenn, how are you?"

"WHAT???"

(Louder)"I said, how are you?"

"WHAATTT?"

And so on ... ;D

Thankless job. Thank God there are folks who rise to the challenge and put up with the crap.

You aren't kidding!

With the internet not only do you get your ass shot full of arrows by the guys actually at the track, but the entire world can jump in on the fun as well.

Brian, took my 9 year old up to Lebanon Valley for Musclepalooza. First time - Great time. Real deal motor park, no pretensions. Met up with Andy/vtjunk. He's a great guy, I could really use a neighbor like him.

Just my $0.02 but bs.com might want to think about co laborating w Hemmings. They ran a good, well organized event that didn't come with some of the glam that the GoodGuys seem to attract (and I like the GG). DF might also want to look at Hemmings rag, Muscle Machines (if he is not already). I wouldn't be surprised if it was acquiring some of HRM's ad revenues.
