Well we took a ride up to Thompson's Raceway park in Thompson Ohio on Saturday.
Even though the weather was a little chilly it was a great day to go to the Drag Races.
We got there around 2 pm and the fun runs had started. After walking around and seeing all the Drag Cars up close we headed to the walk way to watch them line up and stage and then... Race down the track at awesome speeds.
We got to talk to one on the racers. Martin Smith, owner and driver of Space Kadett. Martin took the time to talk with Micki and I about putting together his drag car and even told a little about his awesome paint job which was done at home by him! Then he had the graphics added by pinstripper J Bird! Great guy and he will give you quite a show watching him take it down the strip!,
The big show was to start at 5pm. As the afternoon went on the big black billowing clouds started rolling in. They managed to get a few runs in and then the Chevy Rebellion Wheelie stander preformed!
Next up with his fierce temper Bob Motz's Jet Fuel Semi rolled onto the track. The thumping and pounding started the the fires are lit... the back wall of the drag track explodes in fire... and the he let loose and rolled down the track at an unbelievable time of 6 sec and 201 miles per hour!!! Now that was COOL!!!!
And then the rains came and the show was cancelled until Sunday. Unfortunately we could not go back up today but we will be making plans to attend again soon.
Hope you had a fun day too!
See ya at the next car event!
