Pit crew challenge was cool. I left just after the top qualifiers were announced. Top 3 qualifiers all live in vegas. Tech tomorrow. I ran into several people I knew but haven't seen Tbars yet so see you tomorrow!
 






...I spent the better part of the evening chatting up Sirhk100 about everything from old EF days and trips he had been part of to trips he wants to make and his current projects...:biggthump

Btw, he bolted up the rear end last night after I left...
 






..The weather was equally as awesome as the race was...:biggthump

..The spectators did have some good areas as in equally accommodated for viewing and tailgating at the same time like having your own couch setting on the race line..

...The Main Pit area was freakin' huge...:eek:

..We are out in the hills camping looking out at the race course so limited band width means no pics or videos..:(
