Thanks for the pics Scott, what are you shooting the pics with?

Do you edit them before you post?

I'm still trying to learn how to use my Nikon, and just to make me more confused I went and picked up a HD video camera.


Jeff

Posted these pics in another thread--will put them here also
 

Looking forward to seeing everyone elses--great to meet up with everyone out there---

Doug

And some more
 

What a great event

last pics
 

Tyler was a show all by himself---I'm still trying to figure out how he got to ride shotgun with both Pozzi's since he was volunteer worker just like me. Jimi must like him more--

BTW, driving home Sunday night after the event, I notice a car coming up fast and realize it's a camaro doing about 100---I saw the streak of blue hair pass me by and my suspicions were confirmed---the guy drives that car---fast---LOL.

Doug

:D Thanks for the pics, cool sh*t:yes:

I am good ballast. I got to ride with Mary in her 73 Camaro, David in Bad Penny (2 years in a row!) and with Scott Mock in the Sonoco 69 Camaro. I also had my own helmet which makes it easier to hop into cars waiting in line. Once I was finished with Tech my duties were over.

Yes, I drive my 68 Camaro hard and fast every where I go, everyday. I just broke the 18K mark on her in just over a year.

cool pics Scott
 

Thanks, I had a blast at the event. We are planning on doing more events next year to make sure we have the suspension fully tested before it goes on the market.

Good job Steve Well Done congrats:hail: :hail: :hail:

What are your thoughts so far with the suspension? What would you do different at this point?

Was great to meet you bro---looking forward to the spindles going on the car in the next couple of weeks. I'll see you over at Anvil for stuff this coming year.

Doug

I like how the car hooks up, we are working on some upgrades for higher horsepower applications.:thumbsup:

Thank You

I'm using a Nikon D90. These pics are straight off the camera, I'm only resizing and compressing them. The colors pop because the D90 has what's called picture control. Here's an explanation.

Here's a few more random pics.... with more narration. LOL



Green on green.

Hey, a white one... (not a Ron Fellows, though)

http://www.lateral-g.org/temp/2009optima/o_204.jpg



I really like Scott's car.

Jimi tells Bill that if you lean like this, the wheel looks just fine.

Wow.

Excellent pics... and stream of consciousness narration. :D

Here's a pic of Rob's car after his adventure. As you can see, it wasn't that far off the track.

Hey, don't show them all! I have plans for some of them! :yes:

awesome photos!! I wish i could have made it out to check the action. Next year for sure.

I sooo want a D90..thanks for sharing Scott:D

Agreed! Saw you shooting down the street after the show one night... possibly on your way to the PT.com dinner?
Anyway, you need some LED taillights my friend... your taillights should at least be as bright as your hair afterall! :rofl:

Buds,
Ty

Great pictures Scott...:thumbsup:

No kidding! Awesome captures. Any wagon pics?

Thanks for the compliment, Scott! I appreciate it! I know you've seen your share of car pics of the years.

Yep! I have several pics of your wagon. :thumbsup: I'll post some up. I have a few of your off-track deal, too. Did that break your chin spoiler when that happened? I noticed in the pics after the fact it was hanging down just a bit. Didn't notice that when I was watching.

How long of a tow was it back to Minneapolis? Did you leave Saturday night?

Does anyone have any info on who makes the wheels on the black mustang Scott posted on the previous page?

My 'off-track' excursion LOL...that was a mess. The transponder thing was supposed to light up when you hit 60 mph. I grabbed 2nd gear and knew it'd be lighting up real soon...so I waited, and watched, and waited, and watched...I looked down track again and realized I was out of pavement!! I panicked a bit and locked them up.

The spoiler did get pulled off one of it's mounts. It was an easy fix with no harm done.

I was asked about the off-track bit a LOT..and heard that a few other guys didn't get the 60 mph signal either. Obviously, most of them did, since it worked out just fine for the majority of participants. I was plenty embarrassed, that's for sure. Oh well..things happen.

We left Saturday night and got to Grand Junction, CO. Then we got up and hit the road, and didn't stop until we got to Mpls at around 6AM on Monday. It was an uneventful drive back, but there were lots of deer crossing the Interstate. Had to be over 100 splats on the road, carcasses alongside it, and live deer threatening to cross. I've never seen them so dense, but it is the season for them to be moving. It's pretty scary at night when you see them looking across from the shoulder of the road, and know they'll be jumping any second. Luckily, we missed them all.

These were shot just before the 0-60-0 run (off)... Very cool wagon. :cool:

The owner told me they were custom made by his fabricator after a set of Jongbloed wheels were out of round by as much as 1/4". He apparently took out a patent on the design and will be offering them for sale shortly.

Tyler

Very cool wagon! I like it! I like it a LOT!!!

A few more of Scott and his car. :thumbsup:

Great shots guys, looked like a killer event. :thumbsup: How does one go about getting invited to it?

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:


ASK TODD -- He knows.....

Something to do with behinds and kissing or something....

I don't see the PT-57 truck, I thought it was invited
??

It was there didn't compete with some wheels promblem and brake things so with a group decision to load it up and take it home and beat on it until it come around.And very body at the race throw a hand in to help Steve let us have some spacer to try and fix it.Like I said before don't come to play with a gun went there is a lazer fight going on.:cool: :cool:

Evidentally not, you notice my car is sitting there tucked back in the corner whimpering. :unibrow: Seriously, you better know somebody or land a sponsor. I'm seriously tempted to sponsor myself next year if I don't make it. The buy in really wasn't that horrible.
