I don't know how many plan on going:

The Mrs called today to find out how much the discount spectator tickets cost at Phil Long. Turns out they are free, you have to go to Phil Long and ask the receptionist. The Mrs. picked up a few extra today if anyone else wants to go and look. I'm hoping to watch Ceet, Spudco, and John B run the quarter mile. The twins and I haven't been to Bandimere, we should be easy to spot: An adult male dragging kids by the hand babbling "OOHCOOLLOOKATTHIS!WOWLETSGO SEETHAT!CANWECANWE?"

Email if you want tickets, Golden is just a hop-and-skip from the track.

 

Heeeeeey Hypoid! Spudco's not going this year, but I bet if he can get free tickets he will! I'll call him and ask.... We're fixin' to leave from here but the weather is lookin' nasty, how's it up there?

 

Hot and dry here. As for the looks nasty part; that's all it does-look nasty. Might have some wind, a few drops, back to hot and dry. Unirrigated areas look like July or August.
Haven't checked my email yet, while I'm there I'll send my cell #. Seems like we grew another teenager overnight, now I'm out-numbered 3 to 1. LOL

 

Hey dude, just checkin' mail at our hotel. I'll give you a shout later tonight. I'm meeting up with Spudco and I'll find out if he's going to go. Do those tickets get you into the "pits?" or is it just stands?

 

"Spectator" tickets, probably the stands, car show etc... They say $12 value on them.

 

ok sweet sounds great! $12 is the normal ticket price. Sorry we didn't see you today we were busy this afternoon then we saw the huge rain over towards Golden..... Looks like Spudco (Gene) and his son Liam would love some tickets. What time are you guys going to be there? And meet up?

 

Ooooops that was me posting on Spuds account, hehe....

 

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Didn't know Spudco had multiple personalities-talking about himself in the third person...LOL

We're looking at 8:30 to 9:00-maybe. Did you get my cell #? Could be I used an old addy for you.

 

LOL

Ok sounds great. At 8:30 I'll probably be done with tech inspection and waiting in line for my first run so I'll give Gene and Liam your cell number and have them call you at around that time. Thanks!

 

Hey thanks Hypoid for coming afterall! Good seeing you and your boys.

Did you leave after we talked to ya before my 3rd run? I made it to the 2nd round after "beating" an AC cobra. But then I was put out after I redlighted by only .006 trying to get my timeslip down!!! AND, I won Runner Up in the truck class! What a sweet trophy!! All and all, Fordfest was MUCH better this year, I didn't break any fingers or axles this time and I won a trophy!

 

I wish I had not been sooo last minute with the call to Phil Long. Perhaps more people would have come out. I don't see any mention of discount tickets for Truck Fest. I'll have to sick the Super-Mom on Phil Long: Okay, okay, maybe if I grovel the Super-Mom will see what she can do...
As it was we had a blast! It was great to visit with you and Spudco again. I caught up with Colo79Ford before we left, didn't see you or Mallary (sp?) on our way out.
You and John were still in eliminations when we left. How did John make out? How did that peg-legged silver F-250 do?

 

I didn't see how he made out in the rounds....

I didn't see Colo79Ford there??

Thank the Super Mom for getting the free tickets. Next year we know that we can all save some money....

 

Sorry about the super late response, too many projects!

Thanks a ton for the tix! We had a blast!

Spudco and Spudco Jr.

 

I got the truck a little quicker now....

Last friday it ran a 14.332 and a 14.434.... But it had a major vacuum leak for both those runs, so now i wait until the endof the month to see what it can actually do now.

 

14's?!? You mean 16's???
