Topeka , Kansas

We hit the road friday morning, for the short 2 hour drive to Topeka , Kansas . We got there shortly after 11am, and let me tell ya it was HAWT!

We unloaded the car and set up the tent, and sat around for a bit, waiting for Bruces turn for spec checks. they started around noon , running 25 a half hour. we were # 355 o.O

Line up for the 2 test runs on friday. Bruce was in class A which was 12.50 - 12.99

Bruce got through the first test run with a 12.78 which was a little slow for him, due to some problems. Unfortunatly we had major malfunctions with the starter and didn't get to run the 2nd test run.

We had 1 hour to rush back to where we were parked to grab the truck to tow bruce back to our space, AND make it to the parts store before they closed so my hubs could get the parts to fix the car.
Day #2 , Race day line up!

YAY!!! Hubs and Bruce got the car fixed friday night. So Bruce got to run!!!

Double checking everything on the car, keeping it cool before the races actually started.

Everyone decided i needed to be in atleast one of the pics since i was behind the camera for all the photos. So here is my Hubs and Me waiting for the races to start.

The drivers all gathered around to chat with Rich after everyone finished with their 2nd race. This was where they announced the group of 32 who would actually make the finals. and it was the low 11's group :0(
