I think I saw Hadi in the background doing a burnout....where has he been?

I would love to run the VINs on all of those cars. They are hot in more ways than one.

In Kuwait there is a fullup NHRA 1/4 strip.

I was leading a flight of Apaches back in one night when one of my wingman spotted it. He did a GPS update over it and later we checked it out.

Seems that after Gulf War One some of the locals (with ALOT of cash) read about a strip closing somewhere in the states. They had their agents buy it lock-stock-barrel and shipped everything to Kuwait. I mean EVERYTHING - ticket booths, grandstands, Christmas Tree, timimg traps, vendors booths, etc., etc. They even had the "Welcome Race Fans" signs.

They were running mostly local cars with a handful of former Pro Stock cars that they also got in the deal. Their "America Dream" was to get some funny & top fuel cars.

If it wasn't for a lack of Beer & Babes you would think that you were back in the States.

What a great story! Maybe they could run events to entertain the troops.

Watch out if Talladega ever goes up for sale.

Just make sure you repatriate any stray Z's that you might see over there!
