All loaded up and headed to Iowa

[Mrs. SuperSnake]

Well, we have loaded up the trailer with both the old "trash" pak and the new track pak...and are ready to head out to Iowa for two fun filled days of track time and cool weather!! Going to the Mid America Motorplex in Junction City, IA

If you see us going down the highway tomorrow...give us a honk. We already had someone follow us home in a Chevy truck just to see what we had on the trailer.:eek:

The front end is missing on the Grabber Blue because Russell put a nascar splitter on it and that was the only way to get it on the trailer

If you look close you can see the old torch red paint from the "trash" pak

Interesting way to tie them down, gives me some ideas.:)

Keep those vehicles behind the lines, with the peddles to the metal. Have a greata time.

Those are some nice looking cars guys. Enjoy the weekend in corn country and ditto on the Be Safe...especially you Jerry :eek:. I too will be hitting the Kiddie circuit next month at Mid Ohio. Hey, we all have to start somewhere :p. Ones of these days I'd love to be on the track with Jerry and mustangdave and the rest of you veterans.... Hmm, a ROEA weekend at a track somewhere....maybe Road America or center USA....whats that track in Joilet? Hmmm

D*mn these cars are something aren't they.... Get goose bumbs just thinking about it....:D

Yeah... If I remember correctly at my decrepit age, I think Ponyexpress1573 had the scoop on the unfortunate accident and posted it here..? but he came out OK! That's the most important.

[mustangdave]

I was there as well...LOL it was my JOB to send him out on the track...I think I got some of the first picsof the carnage...also in the track video I took from inside my car...you can see the skid patch...and grass trac....at the top of the raise where he left the asphalt...

[Ponyexpress1573]

Have fun without me (George says with his bottom lip out).

You and Russel better bring those cars back in the same shape they left.

BTW Jamie's surgery will be on the 24th and then again on the 29th for the final stuff then she will be all better. So noway I could have gone on this trip but she said to go out to the track on the 26th man she loves me.

Looks like you guys had a good time and a lot more Roush cars than we had at Gingerman..

[p47koji]

Cherie, very nice action shots! And while I can never be at that track, the shots taken from a high angle were cool! And a Grabber Orange Roush! I guess I'm kinda partial to that color. :rolleyes:

I coulda done without the "Dodge" banner! :)

Thanks for sharing and posting stuff that enthusiasts like to see and read!!

[p47koji]

Would love to see that video!!:eek:

+1! That would be super...

[pikapp]

good pics. didn't see many of the former TrashPak. how'd it do?

[Mrs. SuperSnake]

^^The former trashpak had some issues...his spark plugs were fried from the last time we were at the track...once Russell replaced them, it ran great...until the tensioner pulley broke :eek:

He went over to the drag strip were some guys he knew where running thinking they would have a tensioner...but they told him that was the first thing they replaced on their FR500 drag cars...they put in electric pumps...so that is the next thing Russell plans on doing.

[mustangdave]

Would love to see that video!!:eek:

Cheri...I would love to share it...if I could figure out how to copy the dvd to my hard drive and break it into sections. I took some ladies for laps around the track to show em what their ROUSH could do on the track.
