Coach,

Awesome launch shot!

Bummer about the red lamp of death so close to the final, but as we've said before, sometimes to stay on the close green, you have to red light every now and then to know you're pushing it!

Devon,

Pencil in Super Chevy in October at Gainesville, I usually have 6-8 shots of my car at the booth by the end of the weekend (burnout and launches), and they do nice work!

Very nice launch Coach! I hope to be there someday soon.

You might want to check with Scott and see if he got a close up of one of your launches that day. He stays on top of them pretty good.

Sweet!
