This was the first day that Rocky made a run down the track. I decided to start the day at the 6 mile timing section to be able to see Rocky at speed. I was able to see a the Spirit of Rett at speed. Afterwards I decided it was more fun to be at the start and chase him down the course.
This is where the speed traps are between mile 5 and 6. Across from us are is the timing station and officials. Rocky's wife Tricia and friend Paul are there.
Wow a nifty 55 Ford Fairlane hotrod in the middle of nowhere.. Sounded as good as it looked. Did have disk brakes and sweet rims...
To counter act any drama or rumors, the girls show their support...
Back at the timing section, the pow wow and story telling continues...
Tricia and Rocky's Mom Valerie hang out in the middle of the 12 mile long track..
Preparing for another start. Hoping the it will not lean so much this time. (A bad tire caused a few runs to go south.)
Brother Buddy give an assist.
Ready for Rocky to saddle up.
Buzzy gives a shove to squeeze him in.
Rocky (right) and I hanging out later in the day. Bad tires ruined the day, only able to get a little over 310 or so..
