What a weekend. My first time ever at a Powerade event and some of those cars literally (LITERALLY) blew my mind away. Standing in the media pit while these cars blew past me was something else. Thought my head was going to explode after a few passes... but it was definitely something to watch live in person and that up close. First of all, a huge thanks to the Durst family for their hospitality and transportation this past weekend, the Titan team for lettting me bum around, the Skunk2 team for always being so friendly and filling me in - it was absolutely great to see Project Beta with Shagday back behind the wheel. PNG for having someone to talk to...all the red lights kinda bummed me out because I really wanted to see some tight, close action - but that's racing. Onto the photos, courtesy of http://www.modified.com make sure you check out the rest of my coverage when it gets posted later on today... I'm beat.

Nice pics!!! Gotta love the smell of Nitro. How'd you like the Brut team of Ron Capps funny car dumping Brut cologne in the header pipes be4 every pass?

 

Thanks, Jason. I'm glad you were there to help keep me sane. I just wish I could post up some of my pics, but my webmaster lags (the site hasn't been updated since issue #2!) and I have no place to serve them from.

 

damn some of the pics in there showing the stands were disapointing, but the finals looked to be better i know the fans were impressed just a little

 

very nice pics!
