Just got in from the races.
Above is what a jet car looks like when photographed by clueless cameraman.
The jet cars went over 200 mph on this track.
I've been down it in Camaro that went a little over a 100 mph in that same 1/8 of a mile.
My feet, back, head and knees hurt and I'm nauseous from all the fumes.
Oh, and my ears are ringing.
Bound to be a record for race induced afflictions.
A great time though because both my sons and nephew went with me.
Was ambushed at the gate by 25.00 dollar per person admission. I had no idea.
The girl cut me a deal.
Not sure if it was my charm or good looks.
Black people like the motorcycles.
White people couldn't care less normally.
Saw one fight.
Today's Top Fuel funny cars generate 8000 horsepower.
Bind moggling.
My Tahoe made 305 horsepower as I recall and the Camaro I mentioned earlier about 800 HP.
Spellcheck hi lites Camaro and offers Camry as an alternative.
The nerve.
I'm tired.
Excuse me the phone is ringing.
Oh, it's my ears.
I think I'll sleep naked tonight. No shower. When I turn in the night I'll get a whiff of burnt rocket fuel, alcohol, nitro methane and rubber.
I seepy, night- night, as Zac said.

Sounds like a fun day. Clueless cameraman, funny. Good looks? I used to think so. But you are starting to show your age. Your new avatar....
That sounds like a hot date when I was in my twenties: Sleeping naked, the smell of alcohol and burning rubber...
You made me laugh, once again.
I love the pic. I have a similar one of the moon taken while driving. It looks like a capital A. My name, my hubby and my kids names all begin with A.
Probably was your charm AND good looks.
