The Cal-look Lounge

Another day, another donut.  Last day of a week's vacation that went away too quick.  The Finals are on at Pomona today and it's damn near 90 degrees out... sounds like a good excuse to drink a few beers and choke on some nitro fumes 8) 8) ;D

more... :o

more... ::)

even more... :P

still more...

more... ;D

Nice day.  How much they whack ya fer a beer there???

Thanks Sarge,this was a nice cruise. 8)

It's not beer... it's Budweiser.

always beauty pictures mr sarge cruise !! thanks for the report ;)

$$$$$ >:(  That translates to $9 for a "large" (16oz).  I got lucky gettin' in, though.  There was something in the Thursday paper that alluded to Vets getting in free on Friday (for Veterans Day that was last Tuesday), so I saved myself $40 and drank my first four beers "on the house!" ;D ;D ;D


Your welcome, dude! ;)


Whatever.... I still got hammered ;D  You and "Fred" need to stop seeing each other so much... too much beer negativity ::) ;D


Thanks Liou! ;)

some left-overs.... ;)

more...  My day was made complete by some the heaviest nitro fumes imaginable in the pits... unbelievable!! I even managed to get my club shirt autographed by Cory Mac... and yes, he still has some VW's stashed. 8) 8) 8)

Ones again,beautiful pictures,Sarge.And good weather too.I think I can better spend my days off in Cali,than over here.   8)
Oh yes,I didn't know that you besides your red '67 & your "white late-looker",you also owned a truck   ;D  (pic#4)  ;)

Nice pics. That makes me dream as in the same time here in Belgium, weather is dull and rainy. Not really cold for the season, but gloomy.  :-\


This don't make me dream...  :D :D  ::)

Great pics. Sarge dig the size of those plugs... and the shot of the heads cool.  The shot of the spent slicks  man those things take a beating! Very envious of your day.

 The one thing your pics can't show is the unreal experience of two top fuel diggers with a combined over 12,000 HP blowing by in an earth shaking diplay of RAW power!!!!!   Awesome!

Your right, Jason.... one thing is the smell of nitro, the other is the way your eyeballs shake in your head up in the stands on a side-by-side pass.  Something TV will never be able to duplicate.

That shot of the side of Schumachers trailer with the moniker  THE SARGE   ha ha that's too cool. great photos.

how are things up the hills jim ??

hopefully theyre gonna pass you by .

its getting a bit scarey round this way , getting surrounded by it  :o 
... but i just phoned the bar in brea , and its open for now :D

We're flat-landers in Chino.... no hills that are next block over or anything like that and we are up-stream in the wind.  My sis and brother-in-law live in Brea off Lambert and the 57 on the other hand... sis said they watched about 25 water drops and loads of glowing embers blowing in the wind within walking distance of their house late yesterday afternoon / evening. :o :o :o :o :o  I'm anxious to hear from Jim Holmes and Doug Haydon.... they both live in the Yorba Linda Hills.  Ron Fleming and the Aronson's are also close by.  It's a real scary time for everybody right now from the looks of it.  Hope your good to go over your way.

Just checking on the NHRA website this morning and noticed a picture of a......BUG! :o :o :o  Nice shot, too! 8)

larry kelley  the same with the to#*t@ ???

Actually, that's Hugh Kelly, bro... no relation. ;)

Really cool pics Sarge !

Thanks, Harry.... it turned out to be quite a show Sunday afternoon on TV with Cruz Pedragon stealing the Funny Car title from Tim Wilkerson and Robert Height.  Now, the doldrums of Winter with no more auto racing on TV until next February :( :'(

Great pics. Looks like you guys had a great time.

I saw the Winterfinals in Pomona back in 93. I will never forget that smell...Once its in your blood, it makes you addictive. ;)

Urs was looking HOT Sunday!  It's really tough jumping in the pool with all the big-shots.  As for the 1,000 ft deal, I feel that it makes no difference to the fans, only to the racers and their record books.  The show is always good and, like Harry points out, the smell of Nitro will hook you for life. 8)

I missed you Sarge, I was out there with my dad and the Peen Rite TAD, qualified good, lost first round! Still got second in Division 7 points. Here an onboard shot from the past. Chris Demke is the driver, these guys are a blast!

Thanks Mark!  That drum got carted out of "Hot" Rod Fuller's pit while I was standing there.

You need the Outlaw Flat Four DVD... ;)

If I didn't know better, I'd say that was a sales pitch ;)

Who, me? ;) Nah, just promoting the best race club in the world! ;D

I'm ordering my copy when I get paid next week - been haemoraging cash this month for some reason! :o
