Texas Motorplex - NHRA Drags

September 19-21, 2008 Ennis, TX

Kerry Don and I at camp! We had about 7 campers in our camp and a few tents. The main people in our group were Joe and Julie Byrd, Marry Ann and Teddy, Jed and Paula Owens, Cheryl and Gary Vaughn, Danny and Barbara Morgan, Chad and Diana Morgan, Garret, Wesley, Newt, Kennedy, Jeff, Howie, and several other strays that I don't know that well! There were races everyday. Friday and Saturday were the elimnations, and Sunday the finals! The Nitro Funny Cars and Dragsters are soooo loud! The smell of nitro is overwhelming and burns your eyes, and when they take off you won't believe the power! It'll jiggle all your insides. We had super seats so we were right behind the start line!
Kerry Don and I at the finals on Sunday!
Kerry Don and I standing down by the finish line on Saturday! We had to have a break from the nitro! But the sound is overwhelming from the finish line too! We got lots of autographs. The caps we have on were signed by Ashely Force!
These are my favorite drivers, the Forces. It's a father and daughter. They had to go up against each other in the finals! John Force drives the black car and his 26 year old daughter drives the white car. They are the only Fords there, so you know we love them!
These are Nitro Funny Cars.
This is John Force on his scooter at the finish line on Saturday! He comes down to the finish line when his daughters are racing! Unless, he's actually going up against one of them!
This is Ashely! I think she's amazing! I can't imagine having the nerve to drive a car that goes 300 miles an hour!
This is me cooking.... Ok I just put some chicken on the grill! Kerry Don is the really the cook! He does an awesome job! We had hamburgers, chicken, sausage, steaks, corn on the cobb, zucchini and that doesn't count all the sides. We ate like PIGS!! This is the tractor wheel he made to cook on! When the cooking's done it's a fire pit!
