I had tickets but ended up working all weekend, so I never went. Did anyone go out Fri/Sat/Sun? I've never seen any of those kind of cars up close. I really kinda wanted to go...

I went. It was a fun weekend. I found out a TON of things that DON'T work.

We decided to bump up into ProMod on Saturday night (thanks to the track for letting us Qualify out of order). First round on Sunday was setup to be a perfect pass, but I messed with some things in the staging lanes and forgot one little thing which kept my nitrous from coming on. :( I would have lost the race anyways (which was expected actually). We had so many problems all weekend and finally should have had that one good pass but it wasn't meant to be I guess.



Oh well, it was a good time and made some money doing it.

Well from what I could hear it sounded like there were a ton of great cars. But I think the golf cart wheelies at about 2am took the cake for sure. Of course by that time security was off dutie and shit faced! Which was funny in it's own right. Poor Jeffro LOL He had a hang over that you could see threw his sun glasses. But I have to say I believe there were no fights, which is a good thing since the EMT's were busy watching the races. Had to cut a couple people off saturday LOL all in all fun weekend!

Ya the jet car went into the field and set the weeds on fire. The driver was fine

LOL, got to love those golf cart wheeling Canadians lol good times noodle salad! I was a little hung over :( but not too bad once the nitro hit the nasal cavity it kind of pimp slaps the hang out of over :) But all in all it was a great turnout for cars and spectators no big problems (just the way I like it).


On a sad note we will not run FRIDAY NIGHT STREET RACING on 8/11 the track officials have decided to go back to the way it use to be so we take the following week off we will be back for FNSR 8/18 with lights and times!

I hooked Bruce Andrew (Jet Car) up with some pictures and a custom video before the races.. Talked to him after that and got some pics/video of the dragster... Besides some melted shit and being really dirty it was fine.. I filmed it but by the time he stopped at the end of the track it was well out of any camera's view in the dark.. But you can see a glow.. He wasnt happy with the fire truck, no water pressure. The comment about pissing on it was expected..

The wheel stander took another wild ride on sunday.. Glad he saved it or it would have been ugly! I think he ought to put the "One Night Stand" short box back together, for safety...

I had a great time except for the dehydration that took effect sunday and has continued threw today.. Got 6 Hrs of footage to sift threw and take still shots from and add to the new hard drive.. It was nice to get so many "donations" for videos this year, well worth my while.. 90% of the videos went to drivers from last year, mostly nitro/top fuel guys.. Made a few new clients for custom video's also..

ONE BITCH I HAD - was after all the drunk mofo's left the pile's of garbage in the stands, the bee's where thowin some big get togethers!! that was bullshit.. The least you guys could have done was clean up saturday's mess for the fraction of the people that came sunday.. I dont see that shit on ESPN or SPEED...

wow, that was alot

Oh my Heck! i totally agree! eric and i were there at like 9 am and there was trash every where! i was very suprised to see that there was only one person picking up the trash... show some respect for the track you have! everyone always complains about how crappy SRP is, and gripe about how we need a better track... but if we treat the track the way we do, what is to say for sure we would keep a newer track better? what we do now shows what we would do later... lets start keeping better care of the track we do have so that we can be more responsible with a track that is to come at a later time!

To be honest there where so many half full beer cans out there the goats would have gotten trashed and become belligerent and we would of had to remove theme from the park for drunk and disorderly! Have you ever seen a drunk and disorderly goat before? I can assure you it's not a pretty site! :)

Lets see, drunk dog, stoned cat, nope no trashed goat. That would be a first.
