I'm going to quote all the important things in this photoshoot.

And just gonna mention the whole "insulator wrapped in gold foil" thing I mentioned in the best diy heatshield thread. cuz if race cars do it, YOU should do it.

nice photos Scott.
On page one, the DP #'s 47 and 77, are those on the new O'Reily Chasis? Were they quicker than the older chasis cars? Just curions, i haven't had time for a life lately and have no idea what's going on with the series.

yes i can. tonight. I was pissed, nearly all the cars that passed by were only on two wheels, not many went sideways for me to capture. I learned a lot about taking pictures on the track with teh telephoto lens. Out of the over +400 pictures I took, I only like one.

Alright Randy!

Last time I talked with him my Miata was n/a.

He's pretty much my favorite driver, first time I met him I was 1 (don't remember, of course), he used to autox at USF before he was famous.

It was funny, during the last half of the NASCAR session it rained, he rolled up with a few spongers and his wife and was cheering on another car. I didn't realize it at first until I saw his k-pax shirt, then it clicked. Just said hi and he talked about the race with everyone while i snapped pictures. He was for sure the fastest in his class, started pole and never lost the lead.

some blonde. i dunno arent they all....loud and annoying is all i remember.

both him and her do not like nascar no local yellow rules. it cost Marc Davis the lead, he ran out of gas on the green, white, checkered....no reason there should have been a yellow, dude ran out of gas, pulled off the track, on lap 50 of 51.
