No fire.

We got there around 3:30 and walked around the pits and saw some qualifying. We even got to see the Nitro Harley drag bikes. But no, we didnt get to see the Top Fuel drag cars. And thats all I really wanted to see.

i was there also..even though i didnt get to see the top fuels i still had a great time..we had the car quest food tent tickets which made it even better..did you leave with the crowd or wait it out?i waited till the rush was out then took off..

 

We followed the tail end of the crowd out. It only took 10 minutes to get from our parking spot to the highway. I saw a huge bolt of lightning hit the track as we turned onto that dirt road from the back exit.

 

i was at the track when the lightning it..it hit on the pit side right?

 

Down here in Kazoo we had a tornado warning too. It always scares me to hear those sirens go off when it's not 1PM on the first Saturday of the month (when they test them). Then we were watching the storm reports on TV and they were talking about Martin and hail and we were worried about the people there. One of my best friends who knows that we go to Martin alot even called my cell to see if we had gone there and if we were OK!

Tell me what happened, did anyone get hurt? No injuries down in Kazoo but I guess some people got hurt in a campground in Allegan...

Tornadoes really scare me.

Yeah. Did you see the guy go into the dirt on the last run? Crazy!

 

I dont think anyone got hurt at Martin. We were part of the last rush out, so there werent that many people there after us. I didnt hear about the tornado warning until my mom called me on my cell phone. That was around when we were going through Dorr.

 

yeah i saw that..i heard about the tornado warning right when i got to my car..we had the CB in it(i was driving my moms escape)..the reason i hung around was cause i wanted alotta those banners that were on the fence..so i played in the lightning wind and rain for some bad *** banners...OH IT WWAS WORTH IT!

 

We were there too. Got to our car about 9:35 and didn't get out the gate til 11:15.
Saw some ansty stuff on teh ride back to BC.
Saw lots of people grabbing banners, some using them as umbrellas.

 

yeah...when i left all the banners were gone...my best score was the comp cams and hooters banners
