2008
NHRR CACKLEFEST
After
the parade the self-start cars were towed/pushed back down the
track and lined up with their noses in the guardwall. On a countdown,
they all fired at once and the push start cars started coming
toward the strarting line. There was a lot going on real quick.
Here is CACKLEFEST east the best it could be covered.
While the self start
cars were lined up The Greek was holding court.
Dusty McWilliams and Don Irvin

Without a doubt, the winner of
the header flame - long running award went to the Wale &
Candies car. Paul must have an 8 gallon tank in this puppy.
When the W&C car finally
shut off it was quitet for a second then the SRO fans went nuts.

Nobody has more fun at
these deals than Jerry Baltes.
