My opinion. See what you think from the pix.

I spent Saturday watching the racing from 9 AM 'til 11:30 PM. Good stuff, but here's one of my faves. Oh no, they didn't win anything, but this thing cooked.

These guys are from New York. (Bob- you know this truck? Yeah, I know it's a big state.) Great group of fellas.

I want you to notice the punkin in the front (3rd pic). Anyone count the lugs? (They told me the carrier's been removed.) I didn't get a picture, but there's a bumper as big as a tank on the back. Kinda like mine, only bigger.

They're running a 406. I don't know anything more about it. I'd love to ask you to guess their best time, but I can't give you enough info to make it fun.

I watched them run 11.12. Don't remember the trap speed.

Yep. My favorite racer of the day.
