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.. |
