I went up to see my mom This past week and we went to the Brainerd International Raceway. It was my first time to see the dragsters in person. I have seen Harley drag racing but not the Top Fuelers. Whoa! What a rush. We went on the last day to see the simi finals and the finals. What was nice was Darren Erickson in his Red 427 won with a time of 9.876. It was his first final ever. Way to go.
They even had snow mobile races that would beat any cobra out there. The finals went in the mid 8's @ 141 MPH. Who would of thought?

Catch ya later
