OH yes indeed!!

Congrats to you both and I would have loved to be there to witness drag week. Play is it safe.... at least on the first race! You know that we would like to see wheels up in the air, roofs flying off, loooooong smoking burnouts and all that stuff  Cheesy

Such sleepers! Love the sleeper look and 500WHP, which is 500FWHP on gasoline as we all know  Cheesy

Very, very impressive! Best of luck and I hope your clutches and tranny's hold out for the week!

Richie is already well on his way, I'm loading up the trailer tonight and heading out early tomorrow.  The event is usually streamed live on either Hot Rod Magazine's YouTube channel, or on MotorTrendOnDemand.

Here's a compilation I put together of my passes for the week during HRDW 2017.

Thanks Steve!!

Remember to keep them pictures and movies coming during the weekend. We are all eagerly waiting on your reports  Smiley All you need to do is to make sure your first run is good enough, load up and drive to the next venue. Then have a cup of tea, log on and report to us here at The Lounge. Not too much to ask for is it  Grin
