Sorry I havent put this up sooner

All I can say is wow, these things are disgustingly fast. When they leave the line, the only thing I can say is it feels like a moving earthquake or a 4 second explosion!

I went both times too - the first one was rained out - but Lou & I were there 2 weeks later and they did run that Saturday. The 2nd session did get rained out in the late afternoon.

Yeah Richmond rained out the weekend before and they had it the following weekend. I will say that experiencing it in person is 100 times better and more intense than on tv. The noise and thunder and the ground shaking and the shockwave of them hitting you is great!!

The camera used was a $150 fujifilm digi cam I got at walmart. Most certainly not the greatest, but it works.
