  • Lightning Fest 7

    Welcome to Lightning Fest 7, held at the Kansas City International Raceway. Note the small BS sticker on the lower left of the sign. Probably won't be there tomorrow.....



    Relaxing a bit before qualifying.


    Blake, ready to roll.


    In the staging lanes.


    Warming 'em up.


    An excellent launch.


    Not a bad run at all. Well qualified here.


    Blake and proud papa, Ray.


    We had a fabulous day catching up on all the news, enjoying the racing, and evening BBQ. Tomorrow the eliminations run, so more to follow. Ray, Blake, and Anna Lee are as great as ever. I gotta say, if the Power Tour does anything well, it creates valuable, enduring friendships with quality people.

                        Elimination day at Lightning Fest 7..and the BS sticker is still there..... ;D

                        Yet another check of everything.



                        Another good pass. with really consistent times.




                        We all had a blast watching Blake eliminate two of his "fiercest competitors". but he'll have to fill you in on the rest of the story there. I have a couple of passes filmed in MPEG format, but I gotta learn how to upload them. I'll post the links when I figure that out.
                        Great day of racing; hot weather, light winds, some super passes, enjoyed a little Cajun food, and fabulous examples of racers helping racers. Not to mention time with Ray and the family.
                        More to come, as "The Tonight" show used to say...........
