DTGD '08 and Super Chevy

Hi all and happy Monday! Is it as stinkin' hot where you are as it is here?? Yikes! Maybe we'll go to the pool this afternoon.

I wanted to remind you all that as of today the Dare to Get Dirty '08 Challenges (for SCS Fan Club Members) are underway!!! Yippee!! This year's theme is "A Day in the Life of a Dirty Girl." HERE'S a link to all the details.....and psssst...there are chances for prizes!!! Whoo-hoo!!! The first challenge starts at 9 a.m. Pacific time this a.m. so keep an eye out.

We had such a fun, "motorhead" weekend. Saturday night we went to a demolition derby (pics are in the post below). Fun! Yesterday was Super Chevy at Maple Grove Raceway and my dad was racing. He did GREAT! It was hot, but we had a blast! He went four rounds and had real consistent runs the entire day. My dad is a bracket racer, which means that before he makes a run down the track, he has to set a dial-in time (the time he thinks it'll take him to get to the end of the track). He was dialing it at 10.08 and 10.09 and each time ran pretty much right on his number! Awesome! He red-lighted on that four round (red lighting means he couldn't hold the car and left the line before he got a full green light...automatic disqualification)....but even though he red-lighted, he STILL ran right on his dial-in time. Very cool!

Here are some more pics from the day...my dad's car, my girls, the jet cars (don't panic, the flames are supposed to be there, LOL!), and one of the nitro cars.











Talk to you all soon!
