Rocks...You Bringing the Grill This Year??

[tliss]

As the title suggests...you gonna bring the grill again this year? We need to bring some burgers and stuff to fire up for our tailgate party, and I'm sure Justin will want to roast some possum again this year!! :D

[Crawford]

Someone better bring a fire extinguisher(sp?) then!

[L8 APEX]

[99WhiteBeast]

Somebody post up some pictures of the "flame up"- that was too funny.

I think I remember some cans of race fuel near by:throw:

[98Cobra]

Yea, lets not try for the Darwin award two years in a row :D

I think this was start-up after JD cooked the possum the night before...:tongue:

[tliss]

I'm still trying to find the pic of Ron and Crawford standing right next it wondering why the hell everyone was yelling at them to turn that thing off....:rll:

Tom

I was just about to say... right after I fired that thing up I was wondering why everyone was running towards me waiving and pointing. Well... do you think I turned that grill off? Hell no... the party goes on!

[FRDRCING]

I was just thinking about this the other day. I gotta make a run to sams and get some stuff this weekend. I will see if they still have some of those party packs with Ketchup,mustard and rellsih in one. If So I will get one and bring it with me. We can get the hamburgers up there at a local grocery store or sams club.

[StormShadow]

This picture is more disturbing with the flames shooting out the bottom engulfing the propane tank!!!

MMmmmmmm........possum :rolleyes:

[tliss]

So should I take the lack of response as a "no"??

OK, ANYONE bringing a grill??

Tom

[03LightningRocks]

Yep...I will bring the grill. You can see my white fuel funnel sticking up in that pic. It was sitting either right on top of the race fuel...or just behind it.

Sam and I did move pretty fast after we caught on to the reason for all the excitement...:rll: . At first we just thought everyone was excited about eating some burgers:cool: .

[Crawford]

Seriously... did we ever find out what Justin cooked on that thing to make it damn near explode on us?

It was possum.....nothing else can make that much grease...:cool: .

[dboat]

MMmmmmmm........possum :rolleyes:

see my previous quote..

[03LightningRocks]

OK...so I am bringing the grill....what about the meat?

[Sixpipes]

I think meat is a good idea. :cool:

[03LightningRocks]

Yep...me too....:cool: .

If youll bring it Ill buy it ... Like last year ...

Hmmm...sounds like something we can work with:tu: . I am thinking of reducing the quantities this year. Last year we had about ten lbs of burger end up in the garbage can.

Could I possibly get a people count....even a rough estimate would help.

Rocks

[dboat]

Just wait until you are in KC, go to a grocery store called Hen House. Better than any grocery store in Dallas, I speak from experience on this. It was one of the only few things that I miss from there.. great meat market..

[Crawford]

That works Sam..... But if I don't get a gawd damned people count from somebody....I will start a "don't know how many mutha fockers are going" convoy.

Oh Yeah................Please....:D


Rocks:confused:

[Mark #2]

Me please.

[StormShadow]

I'll be there + 1 guest.

[03LightningRocks]

LOL.............I was hoping for an actual count from Mr. Tom.....I really didn't want to sit here and count one by one as people responded.


I'll just buy enough for around 300 people...that should cover it:cool: .

Geesh Rocks, just get a head count once you are there, go to Hen House, do a little shopping and head on back...

Dana

Or did I miss something here?

[03LightningRocks]

......

Or did I miss something here?


Yep.....when I get to a track...that's it. I don't do shopping. :D Now quit post whoring:postwhore here so that Tom will see my question:rll: .

I see it and choose to ignore it :d.

A poll is up to get a count. Figure on a burger or two per person for Friday and Saturday or so. Sunday most of us will prolly head home early.

I'm with you, dental surgury on Monday.

[Silver_2000]

NO surgery BUT a Hurricane might make it sensible to leave early to allow time for the drive ....

Category 4 Heading right up our alley

[L8 APEX]

Yeah high winds and a enclosed trailer isn't my kind of party either. I am not sure leaving a 8am or 10am will make a difference though. The later and further north I intercept it the weaker it should be.

[dboat]

You weenies :crying: .. wont be hardly any wind by the time it gets to Dallas just some rain..

Dana

[Mark #2]

I think I am at 4 times in the rain in 5 years, only when coming back from racing or monthly meetings. :D Never goiing, If it's raining it's the K5.:D

[03LightningRocks]

Well...looks like it is going toi move through quicker than we thought. I was hoping to miss it by leaving early Sunday AM....now it looks like I will have to bolt Saturday night after the track closes.

I am not a fan of driving long distances at night, though have done it many times. Link to your data please.

here is update

Hasnt changed much - unless the pictures are linked dynamically ...

Looks like the only way to beat it home would be to leave Sat Afternoon

[Mark #2]

No hail just rain right?

[Silver_2000]

One forcast I saw said wind in gusts to 60 mph and rain that was described as sorely needed

The D on the map says sustained winds under 39 mph - but what about the gusts...

BUT if there are thunderstorms or tornados spawned off this thats when the fun begins....
