Memphis Doorslammers...then on to Texas...

 Still not all pics here, as they are trapped in my tablet...might have to ask an 8 year old how to download...haha....so Memphis drags....just a small-ish doorslammer event....who am I kidding...one team had three new transporters and two race-cars...from Dubai...need I say anymore about the money....the racing was 1/8th mile, and  they ran fast !!  3.50 @ 216mph was the best I watched
 Support trailer only.....
 I have a soft spot for 55s...
 I said to this owner.......is this a 600 or 700 cuber?.....he laughed...900 CUBIC INCHES !...electronic injection, more nitrous than fuel...


 How to travel in style!
 Twin turbos were massive.....even though the classes were different...they all just about ran the same....fastest were the screw blower cars...but the nitrous and turbo and rootes blower cars were right up there as well.












 Camp n Johns new tow rig
 Accomodation front...race car behind


 On the road...tornado damage near Conway AR.
 So sad
 Hit was about 5 mile long and 200 feet wide...perfect homes right next to devestation......
 trees scalped
 Lots of historical markers on the way
 Nita said she waned to go to Paris......so Paris it was...AK that is.....
 Where we found a lonely 30 model...
 and his early brother around the front....
 Work in progress....
 wall art in the little towns \= awesome.....gotta get off the interstate and see USA town by town
 Moving things are crazy.....wouldn't get away with this in Oz

 Stopped by the worlds largest casino....Winstar at Thackerville Oklahoma....(where the wind comes sweeping down the plains...etc.etc..)
Texas sunset....my favourite part of USA!
