    Default Spiders in @ Mineral Wells Airpark

    What the hell, did anyone else see TONS of huge spiders walking around?

    I had two on me while working turn 4... and killed like 3 or 4 that were hitching rides on the cones Heather and I were picking up after the fun runs.

    Didn't they specifically say that you could not race while on drugs!?!? Did you eat a small peice of paper with a little blue star on it before the event?

    No, I do not recollect seeing any spiders.

    Yes, they were there. This isn't the 60's you really saw spiders. They have now migrated to the Arlington area. I watched one hang on for dear life as I drove to Ft Worth this morning.

    I guess that explains why I can suddenly shoot silk thread out of my wrist.

    Be sure not to get it in your eyes because that isnt silk thread.
