Not a SeaCraft - but fast

Went to the Gator Nations yesterday. Man are they fast & loud. Didn’t make it to the Supercharged Nitro breathing monsters (+300mph) but one of naturally aspirated dragsters hit 299. Fun day

Dang Casey!!! Wish I had known you were there, you could have come by and had a few brews with us out in reserved parking, plus we had an extra "Pub Sub" to share. My first AA/FC race was in 1966 and I've been hooked ever since! I've had season tickets for the Gators for well over 35 years, plus the two years I was in Dallas. Oh yeah, the Top Fuel Harleys qualifying were a big let down this year!!

Dang Don - we were in reserve parking also. Got there early so we were in the second row. Quite a show. Hadn’t been to the drags since probably high school. Did anyone top 300? Was trying to post a video but no luck.

Oh yeah, the fuel cars did real, real good. Down in the 3.8 seconds around 320+ even in the heat!!! The day was a bit off because of the cleanup from the girl who had the big crash around 10:00am, she's OK but it pushed everything out an hour or so. Then one if the first Pro Mods oiled down the track and that added another 30 minutes to the delay. Oh yeah, three of the Pro Stock motorcycles went 200+ in the first round, one a woman, those folks just ain't right.
