Attention: TDR Forum Junkies 
We had a great time as usual this weekend with two good hooks. Friday night at the Reno, NV state Fair, first time event in a long time at the State Fair, was a good crowd when the sun went down behind the grandstands the weather was great for sled pulling. Great job Melissa and crew!!! Hope to see this event on the schedule next year with a bigger pit area of course 
while we had the body up after the hook somebody spotted a good size crack in my turbo plumbing that wasn’t there prior to the hook 
We all headed south after the pull to Gardnerville, NV for a Saturday night hook. When we got up Saturday morning it was hit the yellow pages hard looking for somebody with a tig welder, found one, disassembled plumbing, took it to the welding shop, put back on changed fluids tightened everything up. With an hour left before heading to the pull we decided to crab some lunch, this is were it got ugly for me, I ordered up a turkey club and devoured it no time (I can eat) 1 ½ hours later we are sitting in the pits and I am projectile vomiting all the way to the line had a good hook once I figured I forgot to open the fuel valve (wasn’t on top of my game, go figure) and after the hook more projectile vomiting and in the parking lot at the hotel even more : ( Worse I have felt in years, we assumed bad turkey and food poisoning but hey the show must go on in fact if the windows went down in the truck I might have vomited going down the track as I was holding back.
Anyway I just want to thank those fine individuals who with out utter disregard for my care offered to drive the truck so the show could go on, thanks guys
