Finally home after waaaay too many hours of driving in a row. Thanks to NHRDA for a fantastic season opener in Bakersfield!!! I worked on the camper (fixing freeze-damaged plumbing) then headed out Fri morning, drove pretty much straight through. Made it to the quarter-finals where I managed to hit the brakes too hard against a much faster truck to give the stripe back by 0.01, of course being good by over 0.2 seconds. I swear I manage to do that early in every season, so hopefully I have gotten it out of my system! It was great to see Jim Calhoun take the win in Sportsman ET, after recovering from some VERY serious health issues. It was great seeing old friends and meeting a bunch of new people as well. LOL, I swear just about every new person I met either said Didnt I just see you on ESPN? or Are you that guy building the race truck from scratch?. LOL, yes to both!
