It's July, it's hot, we're all busy and tired and need a break. Here's your photo for the month. Think of a funny caption and win a prize. Extra points will be awarded if you correctly identify the person in the photo.

LAST MONTH'S CONTEST

Well, this was a tough one for the DRO Caption Judge. We had lots of entries that were excellent and (waffle, waffle) we just couldn't pick only one. Therefore we declare a three- way tie. (not to be confused with a "menage a trois.") Here they are in the order in which they were received:

"Following the recently completed Route 66 Nationals in Joliet, John Force was invited to a special awards ceremony where he was anointed Supreme Emperor of Funny Car Eliminator,' and awarded a very special, one-of-a-kind, motorized grand prize. The Agent snapped this photo of Force's new land shark as John was eliminating a few Budweisers at a highway rest area just outside of town." ­ submitted by Randy Fish

"Mr. Light, when I went to North Carolina and ordered this car, not only was the body still legal for Pro Stock, King Tut actually signed my sponsorship contract!" ­ submitted by Kenny Nowling

"A squirrel for a hood ornament? Tacky, tacky, tacky. . ." ­ submitted by John Raffa

Honorable Mentions:

"Now, just where is that Delorean and Michael J. Fox?"

"After years of wrangling with NHRA, Garlits' mono-strut car finally passes tech."

". . .and when you give your life for jihad, there will be 72 virgins waiting for you in heaven. They are yours as long as you can pick them up in this."
