    Light crowd this weekend, the threats of rain scared some people off. Here's a video of my favorite part.. the track cruise. Warning, it's a 6 minute video for those of you with ADD and a slow interweb conne**ion.

    Cool. We were too close to the pace car to really open it up!

    I did the track cruise myself in my '50 sedan delivery. It was a blast.

    I think I met you today. I saw your hat and didn't make the connection until just now. We talked 38 Chevys sometime during the am.

    Yeah, we were too close up to the front, but I didn't want to sandbag it to the back. My wife didn't like the flat turns and the nearby wall, either.

    from tulsa, ok

    Very cool. I did it a couple times. We sandbagged it and dropped way back and then hit it. Was a blast. Couldn't make it this year too many other things on my plate.

    Here's my video. Dan Hay p***es me at about the 2:45 mark. It's an 8-minute video, but the cruise is over at about 4 minutes. After that, it's just getting to the gate.

    And I rarely see my T moving from outside of it. Funny we both made a video of the same cruise.

    Might have. Saturday I was wearing a Old Air Products hat. I got set up as a dealer with them right after SEMA and went by their booth and talked John out of a new one.

    I got up to about 95 once up in the high groove. I was right behind the pace car and dropped back a ways then nailed the Nailhead in my '50 sedan delivery.

    WTH, heres my short video.

    It don't always work that way Howeird......

    Had my wife hanging out the p***enger window doing jousting at an event and I was hammer down burning rubber off the line. I thought for sure I was going to catch hell at the other end.
    Instead, she gave me hell for not having her lined up better.

    She wanted to run again and again slamming it to the max. I finally had to tell her we still needed to drive the car back home.

    But I really would like to try the super speedway cruise with her. Just might be a different story at 95 mph on the wall.....lol

    The track cruises are fun...

    That Hale's speed shop 36 is pretty impressive! You can really hear the turbo wind up!
