Round 1 Ammo

The Fireworks Wars
The rules:
The teams take up position on either side of the Dam road.
No drinking before or during the war.
Everyone has head and face protection. Most of the soldiers have gloves. Safety first!
Everyone gets the same amount of ammo. Well supposedly.
.
Tony and Keith show us the first round of ammo.
A 300 missile box.
.
There’s three rounds of combat.
Though it’s hard to tell who won each round. There was a little bit of cheatin’ going on.

The Evening Supply

This still from Tony’s Scope gives you an idea of the magnitude of their plan for the evening. Off to the side Tony and I think that’s Trevor compare battle wounds from the 1st Round of battle. And yes there’s blood, burns and owies.

Oh The Carnage

.

.

.

One of the marks of carnage for Tony. This came in round 2 from the Fire Balls.

.

.

Sadly many of the race shirts worn this evening were marred from battle. I’m guessing those will be become prized trophies for future bragging rights.  Well, that’s what I’d do with them anyway.

Round 2
240 count missiles labeled “Fire Balls”.
.
Yes they’re really standing that close to each other. The battles were actually pretty as the war raged by the lake.
.
The reflection made a beautiful moving image of fire and light.

.
Max was there. Well he was inside during the battles where he’d be safe. But he did sneak out during one of the intermissions to say hello to everyone.
.
At one point his excitement got the better of him when his tail bangs into the side of the second car sitting in the garage. It’s covered, but Tony makes mention of the Lamborghini.  If you haven’t seen images of his orange Lambo, you can find them on Google.
.
Or here:

The Big Show

.

.

After the Fireworks war, the guys wired up the remaining boxes for the Big Show. Tony was running out of phone battery, so he didn’t share that. But Keith picked up the adventure and we were able to watch the guys wiring the cord between boxes along the Dam Road.
.
Tony Stewart:
“And that’s how you celebrate a win.”

The Fun Continues

.

But the carnage wasn’t over. Rico’s inner pyromaniac wouldn’t let go yet.
.
After this beautiful shot, Rico got it in his head to set off a bottle rocket. Well from what I think you can gather from the Scope, he decided to hold it…in his hand. WTF!
.
The rocket went off and it seems Rico dropped it. It back fired and went into the garage, under the Lamborghini and into the cabinet that holds Tony’s extra fireworks supplies. I think it was Keith who shared an earlier Scope of Tony opening the cabinet and sharing the contents of fireworks stacked on top of more fireworks.
.
Thankfully the cabinet door was closed. And the car was ok.

This is the first Scope Tony called “Fireworks Wars”. It contains all three rounds of the War. The check up on wounds incurred and the laughter that ensued throughout the night. I have to admit, I LOVE Tony’s laugh. It’s infectious!
