Shan and I had a great time hanging out with Marty and Kathie this last weekend at The Woodburn Dragstrip. They drag race in a class that's called "Pro bracket", where the slower car gets a head start, and the faster car has to wait, then hunt the slower car down by the finish line. Marty actually lost the round on the video by leaving too soon, where I said he won, but he ran exactly to the hundredth of a second what he thought his car would run. That's awesome. He waited for what probably seemed like forever while his opponent is heading down track.
There were Jet cars there too. They put on a big show with lots of smoke, fire, and the whine of the jet engine is really loud, but the coolest thing about them was they ran over three hundred mph in just a quarter mile. Its a show for sure! It looked like the car was going to blow out the windows in the tower. Shan actually took her home work and got some work done in between rounds. Thanks for the hospitality Marty and Kathie and the great BBQ chicken.
