    Personally I'm bummed that Chad, Walt, Kyle and anyone else that I became friends with because of Drag Week or Hot Rod in general won't be there. It's out of my hands, though, and is in no way meant as a slap ito the face of BS or 1320. This is what happens when lawyers and $$ get involved with an event that is bigger than all of us. At least we still have the race and rest assured, there will be no staged drama for TV.
    There's enough of that happening without anyone's help. Besides, isn't Eddie running this year?

    Just make sure the high dollar camera crew shows up early enough to catch the drama. Reference the 2005 event when Carl and Troy Scott rolled into Ohio with 5 minutes to spare driving their freshly rebuilt BBC 12 hours through pea-soup fog, and the "camera crew" was nowhere to be found. 1320video was there to catch the triumphant moment.

    man does that bring back memories. "Carl, shouldn't we test the new nitrous solenoid before you make a pass?" Carl: "I'm fixin' to test it right now!" and he headed to the staging lanes.

    Keith - this "work on Monday" stuff; is this the one where you get high in the air, or the one where you pee on the rocks to make them look natural?

    Either way, Lane & I are looking forward to greeting Tanya and our favorite Tech person.

    I wonder if this will be the same this year.

    After the relatively POOR coverage of last year, by their film crew. IMO

    I think he would be welcomed back, Unless they thought that coverage was better than Kyle would have done.

    Do you know something specific or are you speculating?
