Here we are racing the Jayhawker car of Chet Gibbs in the other lane. Chet's car is another 60's survivor that we go out with often. Chet runs a big KB Hemi and I have seen that car with daylight under all four wheels when he gets it up!

This is a a Goodguys nostalgia meet at Indy a few years ago. the Goodguys put on a heck of a show with front engine AA/FD racing and some of the coolest car on the strip not to mention the 4500 street rods that attend.

Going down the strip at Indy is pretty cool when you think of all the history and great racers that hoofed it on down that asphalt.

Another thing I like about Indy is the fact that the tow back to the pits is in front of the stands. There is nothing like getting a standing ovation for a job well done when you tow back. So many strips have gotten rid of this feature and it is a real pity that the fans can't show their appreciation to the guys who work so hard at some of the events we go to.

Legging it out from antoher 300 foot burnout. These long smokies sure get the fans going.

Raching for the sky in this pass. The car usually carries the front wheels 60-80 feet out so it tough to figure out the 60-foot times on the timeslips.
