Pretty good crowd. I wonder if they had something else going on there at the track tonite?

[tubebender]

He needs to enter the Burn Out contest at the county fair...

[NYTexan]

[budman_2001]

Yup, he'd certainly take the trophy home.

Good break. Setzer getting lots of face time lately. Good thing---he's been ready to break out for a couple of years it seems.

See everyone later! NBS tommorrow eve. Have a good evening!

Sorry Sorry

about about

the double the double

[steveegg]

Setzer definitely owned the race, and Sprague owned qualifying (Sprague tied the track record despite a record high of 96, and I got the sunburnt arms to prove it). I'm pulling a heap of images off my camera (very few race shots; the shutter is simply too slow, and late in the race, the catch fence screwed up my autofocus).

Pretty much nope. Other than a vintage car race and the Busch boys going through tech, it was all Trucks all day. The Los...er, Brewers were even in town hosting their "natural" interleague rival, the Twins.

[steveegg]

About that time, I was at my seat enjoying pre-race. Earlier in the day (from about noon through about 4:30), I was wandering the garages.

Pics coming shortly (I first have to decide which of the over 100 pics I want to share, then upload them to my server).

[Charlotte Corday]

Yes - but thanks for asking

[NormsRevenge]

Muh Twinkies are on a losing streak. :(

Milwaukee 3
Minnesota 1

Semi-random pics from Milwaukee -

Victory Lane (just past the finish line, right in front of where I was)

The Grandstands (my seat's over to the left)

Milwaukee's only Sunoco gas station

The Truck Oval Office, where you don't want to be after the race

[steveegg]

Busch Room of Doom initial inspection -

The 8 crew makes last-minute adjustments before entering the Room of Doom

Entering the Room of Doom, checking the roof and the rear ride height

Onto the scales

Time for the measuring

Next victim....

[steveegg]

Some pre-race stuff -

But first, your polesitter, Jack Sprague (he matched the track record despite temps in the mid-90s)

It wouldn't be Milwaukee without the Usinger's Racing Sausages (for those not familiar, the Polish, Brat, Italian, and Hot Dog run at Milwaukee Brewer home games between the 6th and 7th innings)

The Navy Band performing the National Anthem - great job.

[SouthTexas]

That looks exactly like mine! At least I know you won't gain any ground this week!LOL

[steveegg]

Dennis Setzer's first pit-stop (under the green; the only caution came just before teams were slated to make their second and last round of stops) -

Get those right-side tires on (note; I was right in front of Setzer's pit; in fact, I had to move over a seat or two to avoid having a pole cut the pit in two)

Around to the left side

Left-side tires on

Go go go go go!

[steveegg]

And finally, the burnout to end all burnouts, all the way down the front straight -

Congrats to Dennis Setzer for smoking the field and lapping everybody except 4 trucks.

[SouthTexas]

Great shots Steve, thanks!

[steveegg]

They had chances, but they blew it. Twice stranding a guy on 3rd with less than 2 out, then leaving the bases loaded after loading them with nobody out. Sounds like somehting the Brewers would do.

[tubebender]

You're a lucky man. Great shots.

Is this the track the motorcycles have raced on for years?
