I am bringing the Red Rocket and will try to break the speed limit. The band is not playing this year. We are playing a big party in Richardson Saturday night at the Main St Liquid Company. Our buddy Spanky is having a birthday and all HAMBr's are invited out to party. Lets call it an unofficial afterparty......

 

Looks like I've got "plans" with the wife/kids Friday night, so we'll see y'all first thing Sat morn....

 

Dude - that joint is 3 miles from my place, hope I can make it............not sure how much gas I will have in the system after the Thaw........

yep yep! aside from a wind burned face, I had a blast at the Thaw!!!

....good folks, loud cars, fun times! Thank you Torques!!!!!!!

 

AWESOME TIME FOLKS. It is ALWAYS a great time with friends and family.
I would like to thank each and everyone of you that attended. We just dig having a blast with folks, and watching them make pass after pass.
Thanks again.
Special thanks to the Tri-Fives for the fajitas, Friday night. You folks that wait until Saturday, to attend, might want to reconsider your 2012 strategy.
Want to thank the Chupacabras and 'THEM' for assisting with parking. I think we're onto something here..........
Thanks to Don Ross, Bill Crosby, Ken Rierson, and Brian Perrenot for makin' folks eyes and noses burn with that 'oh-so-sweet' nitro.......awesome display, men (and Gretchen of course.)
Thanks to all our sponsors and vendors............and every person that made passes all day long.
The Torques thank you.

 

Killer video, boys........Thanks for coming, but you didn't have to sneak out..........see y'all soon.
