    Ryan, Marcie, Carl, Craig, Suit, all the other HAMBers... THANK YOU! It was awesome. Even though I had some issues shifting it couldn't make a dent in the good times. I know you guys work hard and when it's thrash time (like the back up at the entrance) you guys step up. Kudos!!!!

    My biggest regret, getting back last night my daughter and I grabbed a bite to eat and I promptly started feeling like ****. I want straight to bed and pretty much missed the post drags fun. :-( I'm already looking forword to next year!

    Thanks again for all you guys do to make this the coolest event of the year!

    Yes, a big THANKS to Ryan , Marcie, and everyone else, the Drags were amazing this year. Every year bigger and better, and even the weather cooperated. So many great cars! 364 days and we can do it again, thanks again!

    It was fun, the weather was perfect and I met new friends and old ones. I got a free hotdog (New York style) from Fritz, and a free poster from Monsterflake (thanks Steve) bought some shirts from the invisible man's wife, bought a cool book at the silent auction (thanks blacktopbuddha !) and the swap meet was fun too. Couldn't ask for a better weekend.

    Absolutely awesome. Did anyone else see that bright red Deuce with the Olds 394 go sideways just past the tree? Good save.

    Yup, major kudos to everyone involved in putting on the HAMB Drags. I can see it must of been just a wee bit overwhelming this year. Ryan I didnt envy you at all with the job you had this year, but I do admire you for doing it. A big THANK YOU again.

    It was awesome!! Several near misses and a lot of good saves, best races I've seen in a long time. Thanks, this was my first one and brought my kids, boy 4 and daughter 13, my daughter is already planning for next year. Makes it easier to be able to go

    Nothing broke but I've got some sort of clutch/throwout/syncro issue going on. On the upside I went from a best 60' of 1.96 with the *******s to 1.7605 with the caltracs!

    I'm afraid I p***ed the damage batton to DW. He lunched his 9 inch good. Broke the case, shoved the pinion out the front, etc... On the upside for him he ran a 10.96!

    Two day event for next year? Thanks Ryan & Marcie for a great event......Henry, our 25 day old baby made it this year for his first of many HAMB Drag Nationals (we had ear protection on the little guy), and he really liked it from watching him.
