Barry, you had the skull in that shot , but as with me he "found" speed and drove around us. Any way I had fun , met some good people, and saw some funny crashes. I hope the kid that crashed hard is doing OK. All our wheels stayed on.

 

That would be me It was a pleasure and a blast.

 

I read a little bit about this on the site posted earlier.. When he woke up he asked if he won the race.
I also read yesterday about a SFVISBF race back in March where a racer ran into a parked car and died. They estimated he was going about 40 mph when he hit it. That's a totally different case of course but same magnitude of speed. They don't seem that dangerous from a distance but as we all have seen they certainly can be.

 

Hey Bradon,

Sorry i hadn't replied yet. it was great having you down for the weekend. But I have to ask why Reese is smiling and I'm out of peanut ****er?

 

With company coming in, you should buy peanut ****er in BULK!

It can be had in a 5 gallon bucket,(or so I am told!)

I had to improvise since you were all out of vasoline..
I think there's something to be said when I can make your dog smile and you can't.

 

At least you chose Reece and not the other option there that night

 

I found 18 pages of pictures of the race on this ladies site.
