This was a FUN event!! The drive out there was actually not too bad. Quite scenic.
Breakfast the morning of the event started off with Jimbo- pounding on the glass at IHOP on a :evil: feeding rampage ! LOL LOL Then after they finally opened we all tore into our food and Jimbo ordered his giant omlette with just about everything they could fit in it. LOL it was so big even Jimbo couldn't finish it which was shocking. LOL LOL LOL
The event was awesome! There was a great selection of rigs there- Big and small.
In one of the rounds Doug stuck an injector on his Detroit altered and Rat Rod Doug- aka metalman, ruptured a brake line- well :woohoo:Treesmasher and I jumped into action:evil and as Treesmasher helped Rat Rod Doug fix his problem, I helped Doug yank his stuck injector, replace it, and get the fast Detroit back together again with a fresh injector, switch his bottles and we are happy to say both Dougs made the next round with time to spare :rockwoot: This is what it is all about- friends helping friends. We didn't even think we just jumped into action.
Doug's first run went wild on launch off the line and he spun hard off the hit and stuck his injector right there- and proceeded to storm down the track on 5 cylinders to the tune of 8.95. :rockwoot: The next session after the thrash session- he slammed a 8.51 down. :clap:
Rat Rod Doug won the event:clap:, and lil Weedwacker was in his glory hanging out with Doug and his awesome wife all day. Where ever Doug was Weedwacker was right with him. Weedwacker took a bunch of pics and we'll get those pics up soon.
Freddy Angle was there with his sweet orange KW. The awesome part of his story is he dropped a trailer down the road and came to the track to race- a real working Big Rig. That's a cool dude right there too, and that KW is one of my favorites.
It was good to see some familliar faces, meet new diesel folks and generally just having a KICK A$$ time. :rockwoot::rockwoot::rockwoot:
:Cheer:
