Here we are again at the start of a new racing season.  The rail is ready and the engine has been tuned.  I will post some pictures as soon as we take them!

We were at a car show in Fruitport at the NAPA store.  It was not a large show but it was a lot of fun.  We had free food, (hot dogs, popcorn & pop) and there were a lot of free stuff.  Here are a few  pictures of the show.

We were invited to Thunderbird Dragstrip by the Muscle Car Club to make a few runs down the track.  Their was a good turnout and a lot of rubber met the track.  Tom has the track record at 199.90 MPH.  He set the record a few years ago and it has not been beat yet!  Here are only a few of the many pictures that were taken that day.  Thanks to Tom for a great breakfast at Bob Evans on apple Ave.

We were invited to Brann's Steakhouse by a local radio DJ that had made a negative comment about Dragster Drivers.  Of course we brought the dragster with us!  Tom Disabled the transmission for safety and then we "placed" the "DJ" in the drivers seat.  He looked pretty cool until Tom and Scott cranked it up.  As you can see by the pictures his eyes got big and he had to plug his ears.  Once we shut it down and got him out of the dragster he had a different story as to dragster drivers.  Later we wiped out the seat and Tom drove it into the trailer!
