What is this? Have they gone country? Who are these people? I thought for a minute they could be the Lone Ranger and maybe Tonto... but didn't the Loan Ranger have a white hat?

Maybe we should check in over at Race Pages to see what these desperadoes have been up to.

WARNING - No sheep were harmed in the playing of this game.

Rhonda sent this out today. I thought it fit drag racers to a "T".

It's like practicing your reaction time. The best part you ask? Well, you are practicing by shooting sheep with a tranquilizer dart.

Kind of fits right? If you get caught counting sheep at the lights in drag racing - the race is over.

Give it a shot and let us know how you do. You'll get 5 chances and it will track your reaction time - give you an average - and rate you based on your average.

Sound easy? Well, let me warn you. That one stinking flea bitten sheep near the bottom keeps acting like he's going to jump. I can't tell you how many times he caused be to foul.

As if driving a top fuel car isn't hard enough...

Here's a shot taken about half track by our friend Bob Szelag during Friday qualifying at the Fall Rockingham race. Notes from the tower said, "McMillen shook, pedaled, shook again and shut it off."

Oh... and had the wheels hiked in the air at half track...

ELKHART, Ind. - Terry McMillen, driver of the Amalie Oil InstiGator Funny Car and the Foley/Lewis Torco Nitro Top Fuel Dragster gets his own space, MySpace that is.

Today marks the official grand opening of McMillen's MySpace page located at http://myspace.com/hoosierthundermotorsports. Special thanks goes out to Cori Wickler who helped put the page together after attending her first drag race at the Torco Race Fuels Northern Nationals in Martin, Michigan.

"Being on MySpace was one of those things we had on our 'to-do' list this year," McMillen said. "I can't thank Cori enough for helping to put that together. We look at it as another opportunity to communicate and stay in touch with our friends, family and fans. It's an entirely different demographic that we can now reach through social networking."

"I just needed 'my space'," McMillen joked.

Terry McMillen's Nitro Pit Party heads for Toronto. If you're going that way, be sure to enter to win the FG-50 Freedom Grill that we will be giving away on Saturday, September 8, 2007.

WUTV Fox 29 in Buffalo is partnering with the Knoll Gas Nitro Jam, Freedom Grill and the Ultimate Tailgater to make this one party you'll never forget.

One of the the features that a lot of the winners have been enjoying is the behind the scenes tour they get. Winners will tour 2 nitro teams and have lunch with Terry McMillen. Does it get any better than that?

Everyone loves the InstiGator -- both the car, and its driver.

Imagine our surprise when we ran across this crazy gator puppet on Amazon.

Ok, so it's not exactly the Amalie Oil Racing Gator, but we think it looks like fun for the whole family.
