    John was turning in a timeslip but Matt was pretty happy with that 14.22 from what I could tell... kinda hard to tell with him and that bigass grin and kind of excited chatter coming out of him. lol.

    John, I'll catch up with you before y'all leave, sorry I missed you. I think y'all were in the driver's meeting when I got this one:



    Couple of shots of the Sean and Shawn's , I missed some runs standing in line for beer, and then the beer return line (no lines for the girls side, I almost went in there)





    and Mike's (I think?) are you in second?! Nice.



    Nesabo must have had a fun slip n slide ride, 13.50 at 114! Sorry man, somehow I don't have a picture of Plan B.

    Dignlife Rich has whizzed off the DW gremlins somehow - hopefully the Gremmies stayed in Tulsa.



    I blame too much tire - l had Monica stand by one for scale. jeebus.





    This freaking guy cost me 5.00 just by showing up and ran a decent 13.26 at 110.

    If you can't read it , it says Untuned Unmodified Unspoonsored and Unknown all over the door - guy is wearing a black helmet and black Ford drving suit and NOT running his a/c in the lanes. I was impressed... irrepressible. I'm letting the cat out of the bag but with OUTSIDER shoe polished on the back window, anybody wanna guess who this was?



    The guy on the left belongs with the kickass little wagon on the left. He's not our intrepid outsider, who has a BangSHIFT sticker flying in that sea of stickers somewhere. I won't even say anything about the manhood robbing first run except you can't keep a good man down. A 13.2 at 110 says good things about the current crop of daily drivers out there.

    I blew several photo ops including Randal with a package of bailing wire, I was pretty overwhelmed by the whole scene. I'm almost glad I didn't take a car - this was CRAZY stimulus for the "labrador at the scene of a tennis ball factory explosion". I overloaded a bit in fact. I meant to try and say hi to Bob et al and I'm sure I missed lots of folks via picture / introduction. Hopefully during the rest of the week...

    Continued good luck to you guys!

      Good for him showing up! Looks like he's now an insider ....
      Whiskey for my men ... and beer for their horses!

        I thought the .333 reaction time was particularly fantastic.... yawn.
        Glad I got the Corvette part right......

            Sounds like Keith might be able to run faster if he can get enough fuel to it on the top end. Boob is doing really well and should make the cutoff easily

              There's a conspiracy that keeps me from seeing Bob run. Today's excuse is rain.

                I think you're right about that Mike, he said he was looking for a higher output fuel pump.
                After Tuesday, boob was in 9th place, but so far I can't find Wednesday's results........

                  Been watchin the live feeds too. The 56 is lookin GREAT ! Think he is up to 7th?
                  The old shoebox is motivating me to run DW in 13. Since Bob is my Hero, I don't think I have a choice . . . I have to do it ! He sure makes it sound like fun.

                      Boob just ran an 11.71 @ 114 MPH then hot-lapped to an 11.77
                      I hope I can spell Mr. Consistent as well as he runs that puppy.

                          better watch that red for the brackets.
                          Maybe I can clear this up.....I thought the cop was a prostitute.
