Funny picture

Our local Friday night street legal races started last night. A local photographer was taking a bunch of pics and posted them on another web site. Here's one of our starting line workers. The picture quickly got modified by someone and now has everyone laughing.

I didn't get a chance to get out. I didn't get home from work until 7pm. By the time I got cleaned up and had food in me there was no way I could have loaded the car and got to the track. Not when I need to be back at work at 7am.

There was a first gen f-body out that night running high 9's. There was also a whole group of SRT4's. Street legal night is dominated by imports. Anyone with real muscle doesn't usually show up. Nothing can shut up a street racer more than finding out their 12 second car only runs 14's. Density altitude that night started around 5000 feet and dropped off into the low 4000's by the time the track shut down. Not great weather but at least it wasn't snowing like it was the next morning.

I've already suggested that someone should put some rollerblades under his feet. I don't know who put the harness and strap in the picture but it still looks good.
