Whoa, what a weekend. Thursday's river boat dining and the cruise was cool and interesting then the trip to the top of the hill on the incline and oh what a stunning view it is, Friday night at the steak house filled everyone up. The girls returning from their shopping trip and getting into the track without paying.. must have been all that feminine charm oozing from the van when they pulled in... or he didn't want to say "Yes dear" that many times? Gary's Draglist banner, coasters, Draglist stickers and Bills' amazing Laser cut plaque. Gary you are the best. Genna's sassy display, Zappy's tale of man boobs, seeing the ever elusive Bandit, watching Rocky run some of his best times, Sharon's acrobatics and Zappy too, Ohio Dave's presence for but a brief time, Denise hanging on the bleachers from back pain ( I can relate to that) and then the fireworks show was a blast... pun intended, The Saturday racing was really good with passes of a triple zero reaction time, a 7.00 ET on a 7.00 index, and driving from ditch to ditch within his own side of the race track. That guy must have driven about a 1/2 mile in the quarter mile!!!! Lady Linda's spaghetti diner with the Italian waiter serving everyone and then Heidi's crack fudge to top off the evening. Daryl's green Mini Pete golf cart pulling the funny car to the starting line and hours of talking for all of us. 29 funny cars all in one place and not one oil down or massive engine destruction. Sweet. The Sunday morning farewell breakfast with many of us lingering for hours talking and not wanting to part company but Gary did a burnout with his new electric powered Chevy in the motel parking lot to send us on our way. Four days seemed like only hours but we will repeat it next year to make more memories. Thanks kids, the old guy really enjoyed himself... well all except the broken wife part. Oh and not to forget, Denny's hospitality for our Draglist crew, thank you Denny, I hope the spaghetti dinner in some way repaid you for your generosity towards our group of Draglisters?
