    Over the weekend dad and I went to the Funny Car Nationals at US 131. It was a great show. They had the Great Lakes Nostalgia Funny Cars, Great Lakes Gassers, Nostalgia Nitro cars and a couple of pro nitro cars. I had a great time and shot a lot of pictures!

    The rider of the bike was reaching for a switch and the wind caught his arm and lifted him off the bike. When he hit the pavement his leathers started smoking!:eek: He later came back to the track when all the fans were gone.

    Yes I do have some pictures of the funny cars!
