Trey why does it look like you have a panty hose mask on your head in that pic?
 
Well worth the wait for sure:cool: How do you guys like our CEG shadow, that's gotta make it into the calender for 09':idea:

I hope these pics motivate other to come on down or over or up to the Dragon with us next year, its going to be the 7th annual!!!

Thanks again John...next year the 3.0L needs to make an appearance again too!

Did you guys see my gloves, LOL!
 
funniest part about the gloves was when roger offered me some pretzels out of a bag that he'd been using the pee glove to grab them with... i said no thanks! lol
