Whoa, Brian. That's a near miss for sure. Glad you made it home safely. That could have been bad... With all this talk of brake failures you all have me thinking of hydroboost!

Oh yeah. it would have been quite a feat to stop that 5er with no brake booster

Those are great pictures and videos. It looks like everyone had a lot of fun. I'm still bummed that I couldn't make it. I'm planning are trying again next year. My wife wants to go to the ocean before we have the baby (which reminds me, it turns out we're having a boy!), so that's why I couldn't come to RRE this year. (If my house would've sold I could have done both.) Oh well, there's always next year and the tractor pull that I look forward to 364 days a year is Thursday. I'm getting really excited for it =).

I need to log on to FB once and find these RRE pages.

No doubt there. I can't count the number of times He saved my bacon! Be faithful to God and He will be faithful to you. Its awesome you made it home, being stranded on the road can ruin a trip in a hurry.

Did they do classes for the pulls? Like an OBS class, NBS class, etc.

Congrats on the Boy Phil!!!!!

You guys are tooooo funny. Couple of things to correct you on Nate. First, that is not Clays white race truck in your photo where we are leaving for the drag strip. It's an all whited out 6.7. I know because I stared at the thing for 20min. Second, you are correct Tyler. There is NO wrench in that photo as I have a 3/8 breaker bar in my hands putting my darn serp belt on! Lol

If I happen to to have my own TT for next years. I shall mount my stinking vise to the back of it and the words F$&@ Rebilld on it! Lol

I want the pic of me with your truck! She's my mistress
Gretchen gets jealous sometimes, but I tell her not to worry I always come home to her.
