Well, while eating lunch had to jump up and take a few pics.

There was this guy who made them open the bridge so he could make a special entrance on the way back from a lunch test run. Probably because Ilmor and Nor-Tech were both with him....

Heading back out and a few of the start of the second half.

I believe this 70 Cary is the one with twin diesels and the single turbine. Not positive though.

Probably more than that, (if you figure the lard-azz weight into the equation!)

But, on the positive side, at least I brought Terri!

I was talking to Wrink, he was complaining too. But not about ballast and wind resistance, well, maybe a lack of wind resistance!

Heading out to the lake for testing, notice the glare in the shot???? Surprised I could even get the shot.

Then coming back in, kind of hidden attributes????

http://i730.photobucket.com/albums/ww310/ptrose/Boyne%20Thunder%202012/IMG_3036-001-1.jpg

So, I'm thinking this would be the proper look for a Pain Dr from Flint. WHat do you think???
