Drags etc

Another week has come and gone....times goin' way too fast.
On Friday we went to see True Grit...new version. This followed seeing the original on TV a couple of weeks ago.
The new show seemed to followed the first one fairly close, with a bit extra at the end. Good movie regardless.
Saturday had 3 of "us guys" travel up to Montgomery to the "Hangover Nationals" a drag race that was supposed to have happened on Jan 1 & 2, but were delayed because of poor weather. It was a good bracket race with
everything from a very fast V8 powered VW to rail style dragsters . They were only using the 1/8 mile strip but got up to 120MPH. Times were under 8 second area at times.
Sunday lunch, now.... a ritual, was out to It Don't Matter, again....great food in the middle of no where.
Sue has a date every Monday for quilting and usually another date on Wed. at a different place as well.
We were hungry again yesterday ( Tuesday ) and found a eating place none of group had tried before "Country Kitchen"...again a great place. A number of "famous people" have eaten there ( more than once).
The bottom picture is of two cars that are powered by a 2 cycle engines and driven by kids under 12 years old. The speed was still close to 80 MPH in the 1/8th.
