Group shot - Class winnners in front

Derek and JD both take Show trophies

TEXAS/TALON group is definately the biggest group represented

[dboat]

I just went through all the shots... they are great...

is there any vendor action? any new stuff out there?

How many of the Halo guys showed up?

Also, looks like some really nice Gen 1 trucks are there too..

Rare picture of Mark #2 and I racing on Saturday. This only happened about eleven times I think. I think he may have sprained his ankle from kicking me in the a$$ all day. :cool:

[Wht95Lightning]

WOW, great pics doug. There are so many pics I'm surprised you had time to do anything else.
Pretty impressive turnout of Gen 1's. Wish I could've been there for real but after looking at the pics it almost feels like I was.

Thanks:)

This had to be the coolest event of all time! I don't even know the final total on the number of trucks, but it was by far the biggest showing of Lightnings ever. I am ready to sign up for next year! I met some of the coolest people there, and heard some of the greatest stories.

Actually,
Go Rila lost to "Silverback" but Mark #2 never beat Sixpipes on the light, he ran reaction times of .020, .000, and .004 seconds, so its the truck at this point,and yes I witnessed the .000 light at the end of the track and couldn't believe it.

It was a real bash and I thoroughly enjoyed it:beer::beer::D. They did not organize the group pic worth a crap, a third of the trucks were in the parking lot or at the hotel. They shot the pic 5 minutes before sunset:hammer:

That's true. I would have loved to have gotten in on the picture, but I didn't even know they were going to take one. About half of the TALON gang was out at dinner when the pic was taken.:Bullshit

I still think it was a great event and (since it was the first year) there need to be a few bugs worked out.

[my2002lightning]

The only way I found out was we happened to be in the right-place/right-time and ran into Doug and said there was a group pic by the stands.

I'm like 2nd row off to the left a bit next to Stan/RUSLOW and behind Justin.
Imagine if ALL of TALON had shown! :nana2

Ronald

I've figured some of my MPG #s and two of the #s were 14.72 and 15.53 and that is with sustained 10+ speed-limit interstate driving back/forth from the event.

[tliss]

I'll post the pictures I have when I can. It looks like I'll have to resize them all.

My pics are all here, including a few grainy ones from inside the K.C. Ford Assembly Plant.

I never actually saw you race that #114 guy. Did anybody get a picture?

Wow, I had an .087 light, and if I was more computer literate I would post the other ~10 time slips(lost count when my ankle started hurting), the day that Go Rila was nuetered by the new dominate Silverback:D

So are you going to make Hallsville on October 18? http://www.fordvschevy.com/forum/images/smilies/shifty.gif

[Silver_2000]

Must have been a hell of a tail wind to get the Gorila Down to a 12.5 .....

Both are great R/T's

I'm not sure yet. Why do you ask?

Just finished burning (and editing the best I could) two tapes...that run of yours is on there Dennis:bows
Rumor has it that perfect light was a result of someone mentioning a late night dinner sale at Luby's:rll:

I gave you a .202 head start and I still had that little light on the left side come on. :burnout:

I'm willing to bet that Go Rila won't need a "head" start in Hallsville too, because he is going to have some "head" work done, i.e. brain surgery or a brain transplant.
