headed to Drag Week

Headed out to Drag Week tomorrow morning. Did it last year loading everything in the car, trying it with a trailer this year. Total of about twenty miles since I got the trailer done, 1000 mile drive to get there. What could go possibly go wrong?

 

You'll be fine! see you there

 

Damn... me and @Truckdoctor Andy wanna do this! Kinda bucket list ya know. Give it hell man!

 

Left at nine this morning, 450 miles down today, but it took two hours to get through Indianapolis. Not doing that again on the way home. Two days to go the last 550 miles,I can take it easy. What are you bringing Jim? The vette?

The Vette isn't fast enough

 

Long drive today. But we made it to where there are trees.

 

Best of luck to you guys!!
Cecil County is my home track, about 20 minutes from my house. That Thursday is my last day at my current job, so I'm going to try to sneak out around noon and head down to spectate.

 

I usually stick around later on Thursday. Hope to see you.

 

I'll be on the lookout for that Cherokee, I don't imagine it will be too hard to find!

 

Best of luck Jim and bigdog.

Go man, go!

cheers,
Harv

 

Only 250 miles away tonight. My nephew flew to Washington DC and is waiting to play navigator for the week. I didn't tell him that he has to lift all the heavy crap. Photo of a gas stop today.

 

I grew up in the back seat of a red 66 Sport Satellite.

 

We got to the hotel kind of near the drag strip. Yay.

 

I got here about 4:30. 1070 miles. 22 minutes from the track. I think I'm right across the road from Jim.

 

In the wait list line

 

There is a metal bar through the center of wheels and a very sturdy mount on trailer.
Really don't even need the straps.

 

All the folks on the wait list got in. I think a few over 400 cars total.

So we'll go racing in the morning. I think motortrend youtube channel has the live feed again?

 

Good luck to you guys, this is one of those events I would like to do one day, just for the people

 

How did the track feel? I zipped thru the video and saw a low six pass, I'd guess well prepped.
Are you happy with Cheep's run?

 

Seems it's gripping too much for some fast cars

We're on the road now

 

Jeff Lutz ran a 5.91@ 222mph

My mistake, that was in testing

 

yeah, that was yesterday. Today he broke and is out.

 

How are the runs going bigdog?

Cheers,
Harv

Good Luck and safe travels to both of you.
I met Squirrel in person!
We were admiring the Plymouth too. Didn't realize it was another Hamb members car.

 

I'm still here and running. I got in the twelves the first day, a little slower today. No major problems just some minor glitches. If you've never done this the drives are the hard part. Lots of traffic, road construction, and directions that don't always match reality. Still lots of fun.

 

If it has not rained @ Maple , track going to be grippy also , unless they have scraped since Sunday night

 

Looks like we'll probably be able to run in the morning, but with the constant threat of rain. Should be fun...and nerve wracking, as usual.

 

Good news.

12’s haunt me. I can get 13.2 out of the avatar, but need more converter for lower.

Have fun

cheers,
Harv
