Turbo Thunder Update

As most of you know ive been working long hours at Boeing these days and work at the shop in my spare time
This is what ive got lined out for our event this year..

Waiting for sponsorship and will pickup 2 checks tomorrow:

I ordered shirts,stickers and Trophies for the winners and runner up of the 11:50&slower class,11:50 & faster class along with a Trophies fastest stock block buick. I aslo ordered a trophy for the winner of the headsup class.
The headsup class has its own sponsors and will take care of that payout i hope.Thats what Brian Macy agreed to on the phone.He said he would take care of it and try to get RRev to kick in some also.Also the gates open at 3:00 so if your coming from Canada get a EARLY start or you will sit in traffic Looking forward to see everybody again and will miss seeing a few that cant make it Sorry i didnt put more effort in to this as i did last year but it should still be fun The weather looks good and we have a place to race so its all good

I have been attending TT for the past couple years and was not able to attend this years meet.I asked (Zav,Wanda, and Randy) from Nwstp.com to pick me up a couple T-shirts and I don't think they had a chance to. Do you happen to have extra XXL T-shirts and small T-shirt for my son? I can paypal ASAP. Please let me know if you do!

Talking Photos of Turbo Thunder

Thanks for the excellent shots. I had a camera.. forgot to check the batteries. I introduced my son's best friend to the wonderful world of Grand Nationals this weekend. I think I might have created a monster, he told me he was saving up his money for a Toyota Truck, but now he wants a Buick.

Maybe next year I can get there in time to see the show prior to the semi-finals. Still had a blast running myself over with the quad and checking out everyones cars. I might have to bring a car worth running next year
