Thanks for reinforcing the very reasons (heat, humidity) why I've choosen NOT to attend this show each year that I think about it.

The weather here is beautiful -- wish you were..... :rofl: :rofl:

RE: Camera

I still quote the line Steve Rupp used when someone asked about what's the best camera.... His response: "The one you have with you".

So true!

Yeah your right. 32 something overall. I was referring to the fastest time out of the smoy contenders. What a blast! First
time I have driven an autocross. Now im hooked and ready to build a shop car and see if I can hang with the big boys...and girls!

It wasn't that bad. The weather guy was right about the heat, humidity, and air quality, but wrong about the wind. There was a nice little breeze blowing most of the time (which is common here) that helped. Once you get acclimated to the climate, the sights and sounds around you make it all better. There are also plenty of shady places to hide, and air conditioned buildings to retreat to. Trust me, it's worth it. This show is pretty special. Something about 6000+ hot rods, tens of thousands of people, hundreds of vendors, and some of the very best cars in the nation in attendance, and being beat on mercilessly around an AutoCross course... I have to see if I snapped a pic, but one of the things that stood out to me the most today was the Runt's front wheels literally covered in brake dust! :yes: :thumbsup:

I watched the Vendors' AutoCross Eliminations today - fun, fun, fun! Mad Mike Meyers (sp?) won in a blue 1st gen Mustang. He also had the fast time of the day 32.245, IIRC. The Pozzis and the Tuckers faced off against each other (wives against husbands) in the second round. Mary and Kyle won, then Kyle beat Mary in the semi final round -Mike had a bye. Kyle won the Rock, Paper, Scissors competition and chose to go second, but Mike put a number on the board Kyle couldn't match. Mary probably would have been in the final, but she clipped a cone in the semi final (1 sec penalty). I'm an old drag racer, but this crap got under my skin today! I gotta play this game... :cool:

Finally, I just happened to be standing nearby when Scar parked by Poteet's Torino, and thought it was interesting to see them together so, snap, snap!

I have street rod pics from the three days, but posted the street machines because that's what you guys and gals get off on around here. If you want to see the street rods, I am more than happy to post them. I wasn't really into the SROY field this year (nice cars, just not quite my cup of tea) so I probably took more of full-bodied cars this time.
