The Stranded and The Scaly

Chapter 14: A day to recover

Day 8

Chapter warnings: Vomit, blood

Ba-dump.

Geoff's heart pounded in his chest loud enough for Ezekiel to hear it from a few feet away. At least it was beating a little slower than before.

Geoff was currently laying on his back with the baby gopher clutched to his chest. The weight on his chest provided by the gopher was strangely comforting, and it was helping to keep him grounded. He briefly recalled a breathing exercise Bridgette had taught him last year, maybe it could help him calm down.

He took a deep breath and held it in, counting in his head.

1...2....3...4.

On the fourth second, he exhaled slowly.

Huh, that made him feel a bit better. After four seconds of holding his breath, he repeated the exercise.

Over at the small stream in the cave, Ezekiel was wringing water out of a small piece of cloth. Geoff focused his eyes on him as he walked over. Zeke gently brushed a lock of hair out of Geoff's face and began to wipe away the blood smeared around his mouth with the damp cloth. The gesture was strangely soothing, Geoff thought as he sighed quietly. While he cleaned Geoff's face off, Ezekiel began to stroke his thick, blonde hair. Geoff couldn't help but let out a weak purr as his eyelids grew heavier. In the next minute, he was fast asleep.

When he noticed Geoff was out like a light, Ezekiel took this as his cue to continue with the cleanup job he was doing. After washing the cloth out, he began to scrub the blood off Geoff's claws. It was a tricky task because of how much blood was caked under them, but there was nothing a little elbow grease couldn't fix. Geoff had really gotten roughed up, hadn't he? Ezekiel took a moment to rest his head on Geoff's chest and feel the slow rise and fall of it as he breathed. For a cold-blooded mutant, he was surprisingly warm...

Ezekiel just couldn't help himself from falling asleep as well.

When Geoff woke up, he was aware of three things. The grime that had been scrubbed from his claws, Ezekiel using his chest as a pillow, and the overwhelming nausea he felt.

Moving Zeke and the gopher off his chest, Geoff bolted to the stream in the cave and hunched over in front of it. He retched. Bloody chunks and bile erupted from his throat and spewed into the water. Oh, how it all burned. This was worse than the time his friends had triple-dog-dared him to eat that muffin out of the cafeteria trash. He regretted going berserk on those wolves, because they were messing him up from beyond the grave. As he laid on his side and clutched his stomach, he was distantly aware of a small, calloused hand rubbing his back.

"Zeke?... is that you?.."

He recieved a grunt of affirmation in response.

"Man, I'm so sorry for causing trouble.. I didn't mean to go crazy out there, I couldn't help it! I-" Geoff's words were silenced by a loud sob coming from his own throat. Big, salty, alligator tears rolled down his scaly cheeks as he looked at Zeke. The smaller boy immediately cupped Geoff's cheeks and tried to wipe his tears away with his thumbs. After all he'd done, Zeke was still trying to comfort him. Geoff really didn't deserve his little buddy. He gently nuzzled into the smaller boy and whimpered quietly.

"Still need rest, come."

Ezekiel wiped Geoff's mouth with the damp cloth from before and guided him back to the spot he was originally resting in. Geoff laid on his back and held both Ezekiel and the gopher close, sighing contentedly. At least he got all those wolf guts out of his system. He felt a bit better now.

Geoff stared down at Ezekiel, who had snuggled into his chest and shut his eyes. He couldn't help but smile a bit, the little fella was like a kitten! He gently stroked Ezekiel's hair with his now-clean claws and recieved a small smile from the little mutant in return.

After a few minutes, Geoff let himself fall asleep once more.

Unbeknownst to the two mutants, however, they were being quietly watched. The cameras hidden all around the island had captured Geoff's massacre in high definition.

"Well, well, well! So Scott WASN'T lying after all!" A small cackle could be heard from within the dark studio.

"Chef, it looks like we've got ourselves a gator to trap!"

Fans of the music of DEATH STRANDING can also look forward to an opening theme song for Hideo Kojima presents Brain Structure created by ‎Japanese music creator Michiharu Shimoda, aka SILENT POETS.

#CURREN$Y THE GAME SPOTIFY TV#

The show will also regularly welcome Geoff Keighley, a prominent Canadian gaming journalist and TV host, as he explains the latest updates on gaming and technology in a special segment. “It’s an ambitious approach to release every episode in both Japanese and English at the same time, but I look forward to having a good time getting and sharing creative inspiration with listeners from all over the world.” “I wanted to share my thoughts with a global audience and felt that Spotify would be the best home to reach all my fans and friends around the world,” said Kojima. The guests who will periodically join Kojima to discuss compelling themes will include both local and global leaders as well as top creators from a variety of backgrounds such as business, technology, and entertainment. It can be played both in house or in the car with your friends when you are travelling for 3. And the main idea is pretty obvious: a simple in-app game where a random song plays for 10 seconds and people have to guess the song name or the artist. Fans can tune in for talk show–style discussions on a wide range of his favorite topics, including games, movies, books, art, philosophy, and the social landscape. But I feel like there isn’t an app where you can play a simple game such as guess the song. The Spotify Original podcast, which will be released in both Japanese and English, unravels the genius behind Kojima’s ideas and creative thinking. Beginning September 8, he’s bringing the creativity behind those games to Spotify in his new podcast, Hideo Kojima Presents Brain Structure. He’s been recognized as a leader of cinematic visual expression and storytelling in video games since pioneering the stealth game genre with Metal Gear, and more recently, he gained worldwide popularity for DEATH STRANDING. Japanese game creator and head of Kojima Productions Hideo Kojima is one such mind. The best games immerse players in intricate worlds, leaving fans to marvel at the mind that created such carefully detailed settings, characters, and stories.

Loved the last one, so I came back with another. "His name is clucky tim, and he followed me home."

Geoff was used to unusual in the penthouse. It was by the book to come home to Gavin covered in paint or Ryan covered in what he SAYS is paint but looks a little too chunky…

This time however, he walked inside, and was confronted by a sight he couldn’t unsee. Jeremy, Jack, Ryan and Michael were crowded around his chair, cooing and chuckling together over what seemed to be a large goose with a purple and orange necktie on. Geoff’s eyes went wide and he could do nothing but stare in shock as the goose’s head whipped around and hissed at him, flaring his wings.

The rest of the crew gave a simultaneous awww while Geoffrey took a step back, “The fuck is that?!”

“His name is clucky tim and he followed me home.” Jeremy announced proudly.

“Absolutely not.” Geoff shook his head, “No way, nope. Take it back.”

“But Geoooffff…”

“NO! We are not having random animals from the pond in our place!” Geoff declared firmly and with finality. The crew hung there heads and Jeremy heaved a sigh.

“I’ll take him back…” He said sadly.

BANG! The door was kicked open and Gavin strode in, Geoff screaming and dropping his coffee.

“Can you believe the rumours are true? In america you really CAN have an alligator for a pet!” Gavin crowed happily, his arms full of juvenile reptile that also hissed at Geoff.

“NOOOO!!!”Geoff screeched and pointed at the door.

“Dibs calling him Toothy Tim.” Jeremy called from behind Geoff.

Geoff hated them all.

#crack #geoff #gavin #jeremy #rimmy tim alternates #geoff has a heart attack #ryan wants to keep the gator #the goose stays in Jeremys room #gavin had to outdo Jeremy #why not both?

The Stranded and The Scaly.

Chapter 13: The Wolves.

Day 8

Chapter warning: Gore descriptions, violence, Body horror?

------

The gopher had finished eating, but now Geoff needed to find something to munch on before he got hangry. He wasn't a nice guy when he was hangry.

He turned and began his walk to the shore; fishing would be an easy way to get the food he needed. After his mutation, it almost felt like an instinct.

However, his thoughts drifted to Ezekiel. He had been gone for most of the day, and the sun was starting to set now, painting the sky with gorgeous hues of pink, orange, and yellow. If only Zeke was here to see it! Geoff hoped his little buddy wasn't too upset about his disappearance-- all he wanted to do was explore the cave! He didn't know he'd get caught up in a crazy cave-in!

As he walked, he thought it was weirdly quiet.... and lonely. He'd been walking for a little less than 10 minutes now, maybe he could take a break to snuggle with his little gopher? Geoff stopped and looked around, the gopher was nowhere to be seen. The gopher was gone. A spike of fear shot up his spine, and stress began to creep through his mind. That little guy was alone in this forest of mutant freaks, and it was peak prey.

Weak and defenseless.

Geoff turned and took off the running through the forest. He kept his eyes peeled for any sight of that chubby, pink beast.

He couldn't believe he just left it behind, what was he thinking?! God, he was so fucking stupid sometimes! Of course the gopher wouldn't follow him when he walked away. It was blind, for crying out loud!

Geoff ran as fast as his long legs could take him, taking note of any tree, shrub, or rock the gopher could be hiding behind.

He'd never forgive himself if that ugly little cutie was dead because of HIM.

A raspy howl could be heard echoing throughout the forest. Geoff ran faster.

As he crashed through a clearing, he was met with a sight that turned the blood in his veins to ice.

There was a pack of grotesque, mutant wolves.

And they were feasting on a mutant gopher carcass.

The freezing feeling he had previously felt in his veins was gone. All gone.

Blazing heat traveled up his spine from the tip of his tail directly into his brain.

He was seeing red.

His heart was pounding out of his scaly chest.

He couldn't keep a single coherent thought in his head.

The vicious predator within him had broken loose, and now it was taking over.

Geoff was still hungry, after all.

There was nothing he could do to stop the growl that tumbled from his throat, or the ear-splitting roar that followed.

Those mangy mutts messed with his little buddy, and they were gonna PAY.

With no control over his body, he charged forwards and lunged at the nearest wolf. Razor-sharp teeth pierced the canine's furry skin, blood sprayed. He just couldn't stop himself as he tore the wolf apart, ripping off chunks of it's flesh and scarfing them down.

From the corner of his eye, Geoff saw the rest of the pack retreating. If they thought they could just run away, they were dead wrong.

Geoff quickly abandoned the mutilated wolf corpse and bolted towards the others. They may have been fast, but they were no match for his far superior speed.

With a quick flick of his tail, he sent half the pack flying, wounding them enough to keep them from running in the process.

With half of the pack wounded, Geoff began to blindly swipe at the other half with his claws and tail, breaking their bones from the sheer force of the attacks.

The second all the wolves were downed, Geoff went into a frenzy.

He tore into each wolf, barely caring about the mess he was making.

The pungent scent of blood pierced the air, and the metallic taste filled his mouth.

It was nearly euphoric.

-----

Geoff snapped back to reality, his head now clear of the predator instinct. He was shaking. He stared down at his clawed hands.

Blood. His hands were dripping with blood.

As he took a moment to survey the area, that was all he saw. There was blood soaked into the grass and splattered on trees, bits of fur and flesh strewn about, it was a massacre.

Geoff felt weak, he wanted to vomit, but he knew what would come out. He was scared. Scared of himself, scared of what he had become.

Geoff stumbled backwards and collapsed under what he hoped was a blood-free tree. He dug his claws into the ground and threw his head back as he gasped for air. This couldn't be happening.

He felt like he could pass out at any second, he dug his claws deeper into the earth.

He could only hear the rustle of trees, his ragged breathing, and his pounding heart.

But just then, he felt something soft and warm nuzzle against his arm.

Geoff's eyes shot open and he stared in the direction of the sensation.

The little gopher had somehow found it's way back to him. His gopher..

It climbed into his lap and he immediately grabbed it, holding it close against his chest. He curled around the gopher protectively as his chest heaved.

Tears began to spill out of his eyes and pour down his face. He was so relieved. The carcass belonged to a different gopher, his little buddy was alive.

Little buddy.... Oh, God.

Ezekiel.

He needed to find Ezekiel.

Using the tree as support, Geoff got to his feet with the baby gopher curled up in his arms. He gave it a gentle, affectionate squeeze and began his journey back to the cave.

Ezekiel paced around the cave, clutching Geoff's lucky hat close to his chest. Geoff had been gone for hours. He had looked everywhere for him, but he'd lost Geoff's scent AND his tracks.

He'd lost Geoff, the love of his life, the only person who trusted him. He could hardly believe it.

Suddenly, footsteps. Slow and heavy footprints.

There were only two of them, so they couldn't belong to any animal.

But... he KNEW those footprints, he'd heard them before. He knew that rhythm.

It had to be Geoff.

Ezekiel whipped his head around, but the sight his eyes fell upon made his heart sink.

Geoff stumbled into the cave, dripping in blood and looking miserable. The blonde boy let out a pathetic whine and fell to his knees, letting his eyes meet Ezekiel's.

Ezekiel wrinkled his nose at the scent Geoff brought in and rushed over.

"Zeke, buddy... I'm sorry.. I'm so sorry..."

Zeke quickly hushed him and helped to maneuver him into a position where he was laying on his back, but Geoff refused to let the gopher go.

"You look sick, I take care. Just like before."

Ezekiel gently brushed Geoff's messy bangs away from his eyes and recieved a look of pure trust and vulnerability in return.

Ezekiel knew exactly what he needed to do now.

ANALYZING WATCH WHAT HAPPENS NEXT MV

warning : i am very egotistical because i correctly guessed the announcement for an announcement and that the album would be called fandom. i am also an overthinker.

first of all, i'm gonna say i feel like this is about the fans and the world. i'm only a but into the video but it makes a bit of sense with the lyrics, plus he uses a straw he got in his po box that poisons him. also i think it's important to note the dude driving the car was in an astronaut suit driving a 1960s car. also geoff just runs out then runs back to awsten and pushes him which i don't think means anything but i should mention it. another reason the song could be about the fans is that during the chorus you can see people outside dancing to their music, but they're between the screen door. symbolisim is a factor here. green era green era green era green era.

im gonna make separate paragraphs now. the static screen. static is used in a Lot of ghostly rituals, a subject i've read a lot about. a lot of them tell you to have a tv with a channel that only produces static. no coincidence that awsten is having demon stuffs as well.

speaking of demons, he's exhibiting some possession symptoms such as the thrashing. also, the demon eyes could symbol when that demon is in control, because it wouldn't always be. people that are possessed would have blackout moments where they don't remember a thing when the demon was in control.

suit demons area 51 boys that found out about awsten's plan to have a show there

baby gator is so good!!!!! i held a gator once it was..... very nice........ i think about it a lot

this obviously happens to the boiz a lot with military folk showing up. of course, one (or more) is hiding that demon thing. an obvious answer would be them finding out that this outbreak happened and is trying to cover it up. also, i like how awsten just does NOT care about these mib bitches. speaking of mib i'm probably gonna rewatch that cause i don't doubt awsten basing fuckin lore off that old ass good movie.

this is basically it, i'll probably do a full theory later but my brain is mush rn. they're releasing the album on the zombieland 2 release date now i gotta figure shit out lmao.

Bracketology 2020: Butler and San Diego State are No. 1 seeds. North Carolina is out

Bill Streicher-USA TODAY Sports

The NCAA’s mid-season bracket projection features some strange names on the top line and some notable programs missing from the field.

Before the season tipped off on Nov. 5, I posted a rather pedestrian preseason bracket projection complete with the usual caveat that it was an exercise in futility and that things would look completely different on Selection Sunday.

However, we are now roughly halfway between the start of the season and that date — Sunday, March 15 — and the field of 68 is already completely unrecognizable from the one I conjured up a little more than two months ago. For starters, a whopping 29 of the 68 teams in the projected bracket below are newcomers. OK ... that’s not all that unusual, as there were 28 changes between 2018’s preseason effort and the first projection of 2019. Instead, it’s some of the names, both missing and present, that provide this bracket’s shock value, particularly if you’ve been more focused on football’s championship chase up until this point.

Bob Donnan-USA TODAY Sports

Roy Williams, like many North Carolina fans, has had trouble watching the Tar Heels lately.

If you’re looking for the North Carolina Tar Heels (a preseason No. 3 seed) or the Cincinnati Bearcats (an NCAA Tournament team for nine seasons running), you’re going to be disappointed. Neither team is even close to the “under consideration” board at this moment, thanks to early struggles brought about by injury and the rules I’ve implemented to evaluate teams based on how the Selection Committee used the NET in 2019.

Note that the 73rd-ranked St. John’s Red Storm were the lowest-rated team in Selection Sunday 2019’s NET to earn an at-large bid. Balancing this guidance against the newness of the metric, I’m only considering teams in the NET Top 80 for at-large selection. In Monday’s NET (which I used to build the bracket), the Tar Heels ranked 101st and the Bearcats 88th, so they’re out. Other notables who missed the cut for today include the Iowa State Cyclones (81st), Pittsburgh Panthers (84th) and Syracuse Orange (87th).

But the struggles of these March mainstays have opened the door for some new names. The two most shocking are those of the Penn State Nittany Lions and Rutgers Scarlet Knights — a pair of woebegone programs who’s sudden resurgence helped boost the Big Ten’s current bid total to 10 (out of 14 teams). Remember that the old 16-team Big East set the record for most bids with 11 back in 2011.

The Nittany Lions are in position to reach the tournament in Pat Chambers’ ninth season, having last qualified in 2011 — Ed DeChellis’ eighth and final campaign in Happy Valley. Penn State’s last NCAA trip before that came in 2001 — when Jerry Dunn’s squad reached the Sweet Sixteen. Based on those dates, the Nittany Lions, currently 12-2 and projected as a No. 4 seed, are a year ahead of schedule!

Noah K. Murray-USA TODAY Sports

Consecutive wins over Wisconsin and in-state rival Seton Hall have Rutgers in this bracket projection and dreaming of more consequential hardware.

As for Penn State’s rivals from New Jersey, the Scarlet Knights are already 11-3 in Steve Pikiell’s fourth season — having won just 15, 15 and 14 games in the first three. Rutgers is a No. 7 seed in today’s bracket heading into tonight’s visit from ... Penn State. By the way, the Scarlet Knights last reached the NCAA Tournament in 1991 under current TV commentator Bob Wenzel. That’s 29 years and six head coaches ago!

Naturally, the top of today’s projection was not immune from the general oddness of the 2019-20 season so far. Sure, the Kansas Jayhawks, a No. 1 seed back in November, and the Duke Blue Devils, found on seed line No. 2 two months ago, make up half of today’s top seed line. But back then it was nearly impossible to predict that the Butler Bulldogs, an 11th-seeded First Four participant, and the San Diego State Aztecs, completely absent from the preseason bracket, would make up the other half. Oddly enough, the Florida Gators, a November top seed, for all intents and purposes replaced Butler in this bracket’s First Four. As for the Kentucky Wildcats, November’s fourth No. 1, they’re on seed line No. 8 today after a non-conference season that saw them defeat preseason No. 1 Michigan State Spartans on Opening Night, then lose to the Evansville Purple Aces a week later. While John Calipari’s team managed to defeat the Louisville Cardinals at home before the start of SEC play, losses in Las Vegas to the Utah Utes and Ohio State Buckeyes hurt their profile a bit.

Geoff Burke-USA TODAY Sports

Saturday’s home win over archrival Virginia Tech kept 2019’s National Champions in today’s bracket.

You will also likely be surprised by the placement of 2019’s National Champion, the Virginia Cavaliers. They’re on the 11 line, thanks in part to some offensive struggles that are damaging their metrics, but also thanks to a lack of quality wins early on. The Cavaliers don’t yet own a single Quad 1 victory and they’ve yet to play a team ranked higher than 48th in the NET (the Purdue Boilermakers).

So without further delay, here’s today’s full bracket and rundown. Asterisks (*) mark new entrants, while arrows indicate whether a returning team’s seed rose or fell. The full seed list is available on Blogging the Bracket.

Bracket Notes

I’ve been doing this for a long time (2010 was my first season with SB Nation, for reference) and I cannot think of a bracket projection with so many potentially explosive first and second round matchups.

Rematches feature heavily in this bracket’s projected top-two Elite Eight matchups. Saturday’s twin bill would likely start with a Big 12/Big East Battle rematch between Butler and Baylor in Indianapolis and close with an all-Pacific timezone matchup in the West between San Diego State and Gonzaga. Sunday’s doubleheader would undoubtedly begin with a rematch of Kansas and Auburn’s 2019 Round of 32 matchup in Houston and end with yet another Duke-Michigan State showdown in New York — the third in the span of a little more than a year.

Due to variance in early conference scheduling, there are some surprise auto bid holders in this field, with negative repercussions for those leagues’ seeding. By virtue of their win over the Penn Quakers in the Ivy League’s first game of the year, the 5-8 Princeton Tigers represent the conference today instead of the Yale Bulldogs or Harvard Crimson. In the WAC, the Kansas City Roos (formerly UMKC) are 2-0 after the first week of play, one win better than the conference’s perennial champs, the 1-0 New Mexico State Aggies. Then there are the Vermont Catamounts, the lone America East team yet to begin conference play — that means the conference’s highest-ranked entry in the NET sits this one out. Note that early idiosyncrasies are a taste of the surprises that await during Selection Week.

Note that since the Idaho Vandals host Spokane’s First and Second Round pods and the Horizon League and IUPUI Jaguars are responsible for the Midwest Regional in Indianapolis, both Gonzaga and Butler can play quasi-home games this March. However, since the Houston Cougars serve as one of the South’s hosts, they must be placed in a different region entirely. Similarly, the Creighton Bluejays cannot play in Omaha for the first weekend.

Can the Big Ten really account for a full quarter of this season’s at-large teams? Will the ACC only place a quartet in the field of 68? On Friday, I’ll be back with more details on where each of the multi-bid conference stand with a little more than two months before Selection Sunday.

Funny Cars on Fire! Giant Gallery from the Gatornats!

Now it its 49th year, Gainesville Raceway in Gainesville, Florida has played host to the exciting and widely popular NHRA Mello Yello Amalie Gatornationals. The Gatornationals is the third stop on the NHRA tour and the first on the East Coast. Race fans packed the facility with a sellout crowd and they were not disappointed as racers from Stock to Top Fuel pounded the quarter-mile with wild wheelies, 330mph top speeds, and wild fireball explosions.

While much of the north was pounded by snow, we were treated to four days of clear skies in the Sunshine State. Hardcore Thursday at the Gators is the day for serious Sportsman action. Three rounds of qualifying was followed by heads-up action in Stock and Super Stock, as racers battled for Wally trophies in their individual categories.

On Friday, Pro qualifying kicked off and fans were also treated to qualifying in the School of Automotive Machinists Factory Stock Showdown. SAM Tech Factory Stock (the home for Ford Cobra Jet, Dodge Drag Pak, and Chevrolet COPO Camaros) is now an official category, separate from Stock Eliminator. These factory drag machines represent the latest technology with current-style engines and intercooled supercharging. They produce well over 1,000 horsepower and run on “Stock Eliminator” 9-inch wide tires.

Amazingly, 30 racers attempted to qualify for the 16 spots and after three sessions it was the COPO Camaro of David Barton at the top. Barton ran 8.020 at 169 mph to secure the pole. Pete Gasko Jr. in a COPO at 8.04/170 mph; Randy Taylor (COPO 8.06/169); Chris Holbrook (Cobra Jet Mustang, 8.08/167); and Geoff Turk (8.09/168 mph) made up the top five. The bump was held by Waldemar Rodriguez at 8.18/167 mph. Other notables included Top Fuel pilot Leah Pritchett who qualified in a Drag Pak Dodge and former Pro Stock driver Allen Johnson, who failed to qualify with his brand new Mopar entry.

Come Sunday, the racing was tight with a few upsets and lots of side-by-side action. The Dodge and Ford driver fell early, leaving an all-Camaro final. Aaron Stanfield got the holeshot (.010 to .097), but his Chevy broke traction and he watched Stephen Bell march on to capture the win with an 8.17/167 mph effort.

In addition to production-car racing, the 2018 Gatornationals was also packed with nitrous, turbo’d, and supercharged muscle. We saw 250-plus mph Pro Mods, an amazing show in Top Sportsman and Top Dragster, fire-breathing Nitro Harley bikes running 6s at 230 mph, and huge fireballs in Funny Car. So if that sounds exciting to you, click over to the gallery and take a look at the action for yourself!

The 2018 NHRA Gatornationals was filled with excitement, especially in Funny Car where drivers experienced multiple body-shredding explosions. During Friday qualifying, Cruz Pedregon turned his Snap-On Fuel Coupe into a fireball. Thankfully, Cruz was unhurt in the incident.

Robert Hight was on a solid pass in the first round of competition when he ka-boomed his Chevy AAA-backed Funny Car.

The explosion and concussion that followed ripped the body from the chassis.

Amazingly, the body tore completely away and Hight was able to steer and ultimately stop the car.

Here you see the body is mostly gone and Hight is left with a bare chassis.

Moments after Hight exploded his AAA Funny Car, Matt Hagan experienced a similar failure which destroyed the body of his Mopar flopper.

Jim Marshall shoots for the sky with his 1979 Chevy Nova. Marshall qualified 6th at the Gators running 11.01 with his H/SA entry.

Stephen Bell (left lane) was the victor in SAM Tech Factory Stock Showdown. Bell qualified 6th with an 8.10 but drove a smart race and defeated Aaron Stanfield in the final.

Randi Lyn Shipp was gathering frequent-flyer miles with her 10-second 1967 Pontiac Firebird

Tii Tharpe took the Top Fuel Harley crown on his 6.27-second 230-mph two-wheel rocket.

Papa John Schnatter made exhibition runs for charity in his supercharged Camaro that’s set up by B&B Race Cars. The pizza delivery was on target with Papa John defeating Leah Pritchett who was wheeling the SAM Tech Camaro in the opposite lane. The Papa John’s Charity Challenge is set up to benefit the Infinite Hero Foundation and Overcome Academy.

Local hero “Big Daddy” Don Garlits was on hand to greet the fans and take in the action.

Kurt Neighbor brought out his classic 1964 T-Bolt that’s packing a 427 FE and backed by a four-speed and runs down near the 8-second zone.

In addition to running Top Fuel and the Papa John’s Charity Challenge, Leah Pritchett wheeled her Dodge Drag Pak Challenger in the SAM Tech Factory Stock Showdown. Pritchett qualified 7th running 8.10 at 168 mph. Pritchett bowed out in the Second round of competition.

Bill Skillman when wheels-up with his clean 2017 Ford Cobra Jet Mustang. The supercharged pony ran 7.97 at over 170 mph in qualifying. Skillman, along with his son Drew, lasted until the semi-finals in Super Stock.

The top seed going into eliminations in Factory Supercar Showdown was David Barton in Gary Wolkwitz’s COPO. Barton ran 8.020 at 169.72 mph in qualifying but spun in the opening round of eliminations.

Mickey Whaley put on a show with his beautiful ragtop 1969 Camaro.

Bill Hawk had the quickest B/SA on the property running 10.04 at 129.39 mph, unfortunately, he got beat for the class title on a holeshot (.053 to .025) by Keith Bakies who ran 10.06 at 125 mph and took the win by .012 second.

The lanes were packed all weekend long with amazing iron from Stockers to Top Fuelers.

Jeff Taylor (far lane) left first and held off Ken Miele for the Stock Eliminator crown.

Chip Johnson heats the slicks in his 2018 COPO Camaro. Johnson lasted until the third round before falling from competition.

Ronnie Proctor hoists the “Wally” trophy after winning Top Sportsman. This was Proctor’s first NHRA national event win.

NHRA Stock Eliminator is a serious race class that doubles as an amazing Muscle Car show. This is Woody Gary’s immaculate Hemi-powered 1970 B/SA Dodge Challenger that ran 10.20s.

Matt Tankersly gets mad cool-factor points for his Lenco-equipped 1970 GTO that he runs in Super Gas.

This Funny Car match was a dead heat until Cruz Pedregon lit it up at the top end, handing Ron Capps the win.

NHRA fans can get right up to the ropes and watch the teardown and rebuild process which takes nitro teams roughly 30-40 minutes. Here, the Monster Energy crew preps NHRA Top Fuel champ Brittany Force’s dragster for a qualifying pass.

Pat Ross ran strong with his 2005 Competition Eliminator Grand Am. The Pontiac ran 7.54 in D/Altered with a small-block and a five-speed clutchless transmission.

Reigning Pro Stock Bike champion Ed Krawiec faced off against teammate Andrew Hines in the final. After a cheeky burndown, both riders staged, Hines got the holeshot (.035 to .042), but Krawiec’s mount was too strong. The current champ drove around the former Pro Stock Bike champ running 6.82/198.44 mph to Hines’ 6.85/197.19 mph effort.

Here’s a look at Matt Tankersly’s GTO.

During Friday qualifying for the NHRA Gatornationals, Hector Arana Jr. became the first Pro Stock Bike competitor to run over 200 mph. Arana Jr. ran a best of 201.01 mph. For his effort he received $10,000 for being the first to enter the Denso Spark Plug 200 mph club.

Top Fuel cars generate over 10,000 horsepower and apply serious force to the tires. Check out the insane distortion of the rear Goodyear slicks as they fight the forces of traction and downforce.

One of our favorites was Jim Nichols’ ultra-clean 1965 Plymouth that ran 9.70s in Stock Eliminator.

Former Pro Stock racer Allen Johnson brought out his new Dodge Challenger Mopar Drag Pak. Despite a beautiful wheels-up launch, Johnson was unable to crack into the 16-car eliminator.

Jim Whiteley in his ’69 Camaro ran 5.868/244.16 to defeat his son Steven Whiteley, in his ’14 CTS-V, which ran 5.869/250.88 mph.
