Las Vegas 2008

Amalie colors fly high over the Vegas Strip. Nellis Air Force Base offered air shows all weekend long. All I could capture is this single engine 'banner' plane. Maybe next time

E-Rod made up the second half of the can-Am duo to make the haul across country. Mostly to keep Coil in line.

Arizona view

Somewhere along the way the guys got a view of the North Rim. A little Jeep ride into the state park led to this photo.

Wait a minute

Sun, 09 Nov 2008 17:43:45 -0600

OK, how did this end up on my camera and what are they doing in the trailer? More importantly is why did I not make this trip with the guys? They didn't talk about this stop much. We heard more about Chewy's.

Vegas Baby

It's Friday night on the Vegas Strip. The Las Vegas Drag Strip that is.

Clutch work

A close up of some clutch fingers. Hopefully nothing top secret. Otherwise I'd have to kill ya before Steve puts me on triple secret probation again.

The view down the strip at las Vegas

Sun, 09 Nov 2008 17:52:21 -0600

Once you round the corner off of the staging lanes, you're looking right down 'Broadway". A nice mountain range in the background. I'm not sure how the racers like it, but the for fans and crew members it's a great view

Sold Out!

Sun, 09 Nov 2008 17:55:03 -0600

Reserved seating was sold out every day. The stands were packed and the crowds were friendly. I hope we get to go again next season.

John - what's his name - Force

Sun, 09 Nov 2008 17:58:36 -0600

A trip to an NHRA race would not be complete without a John Force sighting. He races those 'goofy' cars aka: Funny Cars. I know my crew guys will be giving me a hard time about this. With all the Force family members in attendance at this race - John was the least asked for photo.

T-Mac in Vegas

Terry looking like he has something on his mind.

Archie

Archie looking dapper.

Steve Moore

Sun, 09 Nov 2008 18:06:49 -0600

Don't look so worried Steve. You have everything set just right. Go ahead and send it - she'll go right down the groove.

Chris and I never saw a lunch wagon we didn't like.

Charlie

Sun, 09 Nov 2008 18:14:14 -0600

Charlie brings the big guns with him when he's at the race. I never saw much of Charlie, Chris and Archie after we left the track. I don't know if that meant they were getting into better trouble than me - or just different.
