One of our new friends that had been sitting with us watching fast cars go on the salt came by at dark and gave us all his food as the was called to go back to work. Sitting under our canopy and watching a streamliner go by at 410. Paying someone who gives GOOD customer service $20.00 for sunglasses to combat snow(salt) blindness. Meeting good people from all over the world just coming here to go fast and have fun. Went to the pits, and talked to a man who has been coming for years. He had a big block Camaro . Asked him how fast was he running and he said how many cylinders was his engine. Told him 8 of course/ He said count the sparkplugs. I looked to see if he had some weird dual sparkplug head, nope. Then he said count the sparkplug wires. Had him being mean, but there were only 2, one on each side. He then told me that he blew up his engine Monday, and so it only had 2 good pistons running, and he was having a hugely good time running 34.4xx mph instead of over 200. that's the kind of place this is.
