(Photos by Charles Wickam) – We have run a bunch of Charles Wickam’s Killer Photos from the 2012 NHRA Spring Nationals in Baytown, Texas already and there are still more to come. Charles did send us a couple of really funny sequences that are begging for good captions. This is the first one we will run…no pun intended.
If you aren’t familiar with Top Fuel Dragsters you are probably wondering what the hell this guy is doing in what appears to be a footrace with one. After the driver, in this case Antron Brown completes his burnout the running guy will get in front of the car and guide him back in the night hot tracks of rubber he laid down. Normally guys just hop the wall but this Matco crew member appears to be channeling Carl Lewis or something.
Now that you know the real story, we need some captions! What is this guy thinking, yelling, saying, as he see the dragster light the tires up and make big smoke and thunder?
CAPTION THESE PHOTOS!

I holeshoted him!
Dig man dig!
I think I just pooped in my pants!
I just can’t break these shoes loose, I need a tune up
I got him covered by a shoe length!
“Guess I shouldve ask for more than a 1 length spot ! “
After a decent soleshot he was defeeted.
in a race to the christmas tree, crew member looks back trying not to break out.
11. “I … knew . . . starting . . . it . . . without . . . the . . . driver . . . was . .. a . . . mistake!”
10. “Yeah . . . it’s a little harder than hoppin’ a freight train.”
9. “DADGUM, Lohnes has really worked that ‘Buford!'”
8. “A gap in the wall about now would be good . . . .”
7. “I hate it when the batteries in the golf cart go dead.”
6. “An ‘epic nuclear level explosion’ about now would really get me some ‘mass media exposure.'”
5. “We’ll do anything to get Matco some TV time.”
4. “I’m sure glad that Lizzy Musi’s not driving . . . .”
3. “A freakin’ slot finally opens up for 2012 Hot Rod Drag Week and my @$#& Smartphone is at the other end of the strip!”
2. Will foot race for food.
1. “Maybe I should have asked for a few more ‘cars.'”
BONUS: “Rats, I forgot my Nikon!”
“That’ll show ’em how to 60-foot!”
“Wait unitl I hit that ‘second stage’ . . . . ”
“I think they put a little too much caffene in his Poweraide”
“I’ve got to get to my broker . . . Coke’s buying Monster!”
“I’ve just got to ‘walk-off” riding that BMW pit bike.”
