We're sitting somewhere on the Budweiser stands for both days. I'm sure my wife will have her pink-ass Wicked Women shirt on...if you see her and a big goofball walking around...holler!

Headed up Sunday morning. Early.

Damn it was hot out there today! I got a little burnt, but all is good!
Looked like most of the Nitro cars were struggling to get down the hot track, and Jeg Jr. beat Greg Anderson in the Horsepower Challenge...that in itself was worth the trip...I really don't like Anderson.

A cool thing happened though! When we were standing there looking at Cunningham's Pro Stock Mustang, one of the guys came over and invited us back behind the "fencing" to take pics and talk. He was really excited about the new Ford engine for Pro Stock. A bunch of the Ford Engineers were there earlier, and Thursday NHRA approved the new Ford/Cunningham engine! He was telling me they have a plan to try and get the new stuff in a car for Maple Grove, but if that's not possible, they are really shooting for Indy. He said that Cunningham just received (2) 2010 cars from Ford, and is scheduled to get 20 new blocks, and 40 new heads. I guess they are using Gliddens old big block wedge stuff from the 90's, and they pretty much know when they unload, they aren't going to qualify. They are just trying to get everything together they need to run the team, and give Erica Enders more seat time.

The guy even took our picture standing by the car while it was in the pit, under the awning! If I had the energy, I would upload the pic from the camera, but I'm sitting in this nice, cool hotel room in Sandusky, and I think I'm gonna call it quits tonight. :)

This was my first experience seeing the Top fuel cars and Holy Shit they shake the ground. I was standing beside the track when TF started and I definitely was not prepared for the shock. It was awesome.

Couldn't get any Ice Cream, though. The effing line had to be an hour long, lol.

Great event. I wanted to get pics of the Cobra Jet Mustangs, but never got over there. Didn't see any big name drivers (only the Geico PSB Driver)
