Congrats to Troy and the rest of the guys. Great passes.

ps Bill Mellott's car is a fresh build and WILL BE A LOT FASTER ONCE IT GETS A FEW MORE PASSES ON THE CAR

I did take the car, but had problems going back to last week. Laptop, Golf cart, Lost two rims/tires and one hub on the trailer 10 miles outside of Norwalk at midnight. Nobody in Norwalk stocks 6 lug trailer rims or hubs so that took about 8hrs on friday to take care of. Then there's the car! I had my 11 yr oid with me so I decided to deal with the car at home and just enjoy the show.
How about some more video?
Sorry I don't know everyones name if there is a car in any of the videos and I don't have a name for the driver please feel free to post the driver. like this next one with the Firebird oppisite LIL Jack.

Thumbs up

Thanks for vid and pics Chris!!! always a pleasure to see you and your daughter

Great to see Mike Kamm respond - hi Mike!!! - I bought the car from Mike around 10 years ago!

Great to see everyone and special thanks to my pit crew - Kevin (mo), Kevin L and Angel, Bob and Alley H - they were amazing

Thanks to KRE for a great set of heads and some tuning help

It was really cool to race again and hang with the best people on earth at the best track/venue

even with a lousy 11 hour ride home, blown trailer tire - I had one of the best times ever

Norwalk - it doesn't get any "Bader"

If it's the guy I am thinking of, he was part of the KRE crew. I'm 6'2" and he was much taller than me.
