Friday night drags

My boss built himself an awesome hot rod.  It was a '30s Chevy.  Not that there is much left on it that is original.  A bunch of us from work spent Friday night at the drag strip watching him and others run.
The traffic director wouldn't get out of the way for a good photo.


We didn't see many cars that night that could beat his low 11 second and 120+ mph 1/4 mile passes.

I got to take a few rides down the strip as well, unfortunately not in the hot rod. Rode in a co-worker's Nissan Z, where she got blown away by this Nissan GT-R. We were doing 90+ mph at the end of the 1/4, and that GT-R took off like we were standing still.

Were you wearing a seatbelt, Levi and Noah's dad? (Your mother will be asking, anyway. I might as well weigh in.)
What a manly video.
