Zak’s *REAL* new ride!

Okay… you got me. So the last time I posted about Zak's new car I was pulling your leg.

 
But this time is a different story. The car is here now,
we've worked on it a bunch, and Zak's personalized it like crazy. The
only thing left to do now is get the chassis re-certified for 7:50 ET's and that should be a walk in the park. While he wanted to keep the car a secret until the race season starts, Zak finally broke down and let us show the pictures here.

Deals like this don't come around everyday… Thanks Ebay!

Zak’s new ride!

Man, Zak is going to be pissed off!  He didn't want anyone getting their eyes on his new ride, but… I snuck into his yard today and snapped a spy photo of it! Y'all saw it here first…

Seriously though, look at it! When he kept saying he wanted an ex-Pro Stock truck, I had no idea he'd find an old converted pro stock Mud Dragger! Looks like it'll take a little work in the shop to bring the chassis up to 25.1E spec, but we have all winter.

Stay tuned here for more pics. I'm sure that since the cat is outta the bag now, he'll be okay with me taking a whole raft of detail shots. Awesome!

Supermarket Drunk

A woman was shopping at her local super market where she selected:

• A half-gallon of 2% milk
• A carton of eggs
• A quart of orange juice
• A head of romaine lettuce
• A 2 lb. can of coffee
• A 1 lb. package of bacon

 She unloaded her items on the conveyor belt at the check out. A drunk
standing behind her watched as she placed the items in front of the
cashier.

While the cashier was ringing up her purchases, the drunk calmly stated, "You must be single."

The woman was a bit startled by this proclamation, but she was
indeed single and intrigued by the derelict's intuition. She looked at
her six items on the belt and saw nothing particularly unusual about
her selections that could have tipped off the drunk to her marital
status.

Curiosity getting the better of her, she said, "Well, you know what, you're absolutely correct… but how on earth did you know that?

The drunk replied, "Cause you're ugly."

Shits and Giggles

You know… sometimes even I'm at a loss for words… but this just defies description. All a guy can do is tell ya that Herman Chan setup this masterpiece in Zak's trailer on the sly, then left the pic behind for posteriority. Apparently he thought the trailer closet looked a little too much like a water closet.

Man… I sleep right there. Well at least I used to…

Those of you with a keen eye may have noticed that before I edited it, I'd originally referred to the guy in the picture as Al Chin. Yes, I am an idiot… but not for the reasons you might think.

I am horrible with names. Period.

So, while I KNEW I was looking at Herman Chan, my brain said "Al Chin." I'm an idiot because I didn't verify the name before I posted it…

That's my story, and I'm stickin' to it!

Vinje: DIV 6 Champ!

Congratulations go out in a BIG way to Brad Vinje from Langley, BC. He topped off an absolutely kick ass year by beating out the best Super Pro racers the NHRA has to offer!

While Vinje had the benefit of a red light into the final round, he certainly worked hard to be there. His first round match up against Ron Baisden had about a SIX INCH margin of victory. The final round against Rodney Thompson was no slouch either; the MOV on that race was just over a foot! That's some killer bracket racing…

This is a great drag race with both drivers getting great lights. Brad Vinje's MOV: 0.0051 seconds (approximately 15 inches). He will take home the trophy to Division Six for Mission Raceway.

Congrats to Brad Vinje: 2006 NHRA Division 6 Super Pro Champ!
