Firebird was awesome last year. I was blown away by it.

Thank you for posting these pictures. It would have been nice to go this year but it didn't work out. These pics bring back memories of the smell burning alcohol, the oppressive sound of a top fuel run, and blue gorilla faces popping up everywhere.

I recall having some really terrific sex, although it wasn't with Photo Chick.

It's all a little vague and I was hanging out with Rexone quite a bit so I think I'll do my best to not think about it further.

That guy told us he pushed a head gasket, but hadn't seen it. Gear driven procharger making 45 psi of boost. After the head gasket, he blew the welds on the intake.

Obama has been the president elect for a couple of weeks and your flag has already changed!

For the better, I might add! :thumbsup

Brown we missed you this year. Hope you enjoyed staying home doing paperwork and running your gardening tractor.

It sucked anyway. TAF no longer works on boats and has become a news commentator. Photochick has retired from actual photography and sits around partyin now. There were no Kboats in attendence. The local rent-a-driver got knocked out in simi's and had no circle ride. There were only 10 top fuel hydros, 11 TAF's, and 10 or so TAH's, 18 pro-mods, the boring list goes on.

You didn't miss much. ;)
