A great time was to be had by all at the Chili Bowl this year. There are always things that you have never seen before. Gaye took some good shots while we were there, and she captured some great acrobatics. She was having a little trouble with her camera to start with, but here are some of the shots that she forwarded me to publish. I hope you enjoy them as much as we did.

Cole Whitt always puts on a great show

Former winner, Tim McCreadie had an axle snap going into turn 1 and he flipped out of the track.  He ended up with a broken back. We heard he is recovering well and the fans and friends donated over $20,000 to help with his medical bills.
