This wasn't you, was it bud?

 

Alaska is quite the assignment from a drag-racing standpoint...would've sucked to also get a compressor housing to the dome.

 

That track is actually a really nice one and has a great view.

 

I've taken a few parts showers, but nothing bigger than a quarter or moving at a really high rate of speed, it was enough to get my attention.

 

Depending on the class I really don't like to stand super far down track because of the bad stuff that can happen. It's kind of rare to see a nitro car eat itself that early on during the run, let alone at that level.

 

I will say that after shooting NHRA Top Fuel and Funny Cars track side it makes everything else seem slow.

 

Side now: The new starting line guy at trails yelled at me for going past the tree Wednesday to shoot my car. He said " you don't know what you're doing and can't go that far." I just smiled and followed his request, next time I'll get clearance before I guess :)
