It was a hot muggy morning and we were up early to get to and from NH before the heavy weather set in. Been tornados, terrible thunderstorms and tropical downpours (6"/hour!) - more than 50 miles from us, but all familiar places. Drove through a couple on our way home. RR, looks like you got it too. We are expecting flash floods. Sky looks quite dark...Hmmm Guess I will post and shut down.
Great set Pat. I love the sun streaks.

Calico received State Historical Landmark 782 and in 2005 was proclaimed to be CA Silver Rush Ghost Town by then Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, If you ever visit take lots of water or you can hit the saloons for beers it does get very hot

I was lucky enough to go to the Summit Racing Summer Nationals last week in Norwalk OH. This is a top notch 1/4 mile drag strip and spent Friday, Saturday and Sunday watching the drags. What a blast.
Tony Schumacher at speed
Going up in smoke
A jet powered truck moving at more than 200 MPH
The electronic complexities of a modern day race car
Filling it with 40 gallons of nitromethane for a 1/4 mile run Not the best of fuel economy....
Setting valve timing between runs
Friday night closed with an awesome fireworks display
