You bet I'll be watching especially if they are ripping off runs like that. Should be a good meet.

Thumbs up I'll be there...

I was there for the 1st round of qualifying today.It was sweet when Greg and Jason made the side by side run that smoked the rest of the field.There were a string of 6.63's probably 6 or 7 in a row at 207mph.Those two come up and just make it look easy.
I'm going back tomorrow with the family to watch some more records fall.

For anyone going, be sure to stop by Ron Krishner's Pro Stock pit and say hello to Jack Gaydosh, he's helping out this weekend.
