I'll get the picture up later tonight. Long distance award definitely should be reposted, I couldn't hear a damn thing in my car. I know the announcer was rattling off stuff, but you never hear the stuff when you are racing.

You've got mail. I won't be able to post the picture until my internet hosting is back online. I've had my account terminated for excessive utilization, lol!

Harold, If you can, please e-mail me the original full-size of this pic. With your permission, I'd like to use it for the Shootout web page for next year.

You can send it to angie@thunderracing.com

Thanks!
Angie

In my best excited announcer's voice,

"SA - SA - SA - SATURDAYYYYY! GROUND POUNDING, WHEEL STANDING, F-BODY EXCITEMENT COMES TO THE NO PROBLEM RACEWAY FOR THE THUNDER SHOOOOOOOOOTOUT!!!"

Excellent photo of Judson? and GeorgeC going at it :thumbsup: <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

That's gonna cost you Angie <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

It will be in your box later in the afternoon tomorrow. I had planned on mailing it to Paul also. I have some other good ones also, I need to edit the rest of the pics.

I wish I had a bigger memory stick, so I could have gotten all the photos in high resolution. Next year..

Thanks Pain. Can we see the video of you run Fri? We got to the track just after it happened, so we missed it.

GTS SS got a cool video from behind, but he had to get the video to Jsears to convert it.

Default The Ultimate Thunder Shootout photo!

I have what I believe to be the best picture that was taken at the Thunder event.

<img src="http://www.xs-fx.com/pain/images/thunder-21.jpg" alt=" - " />

I took about 200 pics, and will have to edit them, but this one stands out well above the rest. I'll mail it to Derty & get a link for you guys later.

If you pulled the wheels at the event, then I got your photo!! Dam 9ball, you made it hard for me to get one of your car, because it didn't pull high enough, but cant complain about those 10.6 times <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> I did get one of yours.

I had a blast, great job on behalf of the Thunder crew. The track flat out hooked!! I was sorry I didn't do what I could to get my car together for the event. Next year, I will be there WITH the car.

There should have been an award for the longest distance driven.. I think the Michigan guys would of had that.

Pics later.

Cool! Yeah, I set my shocks stiff to avoid pulling a PaiNful launch. No drama, but still cutting 1.4s all day. That was fun!

DAYUM George!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[Camaro]" title="" src="graemlins/camaro.gif" /> It's been a while since I saw you run. When ya gonna be out at G-ville again?!? Man, I'm sorry I missed it!! Those events are great for meeting people, and putting faces with names. I'll definitely be there next year, just a little far to take a 6 month old!!

Right now all of the interior is out of the car (repainting the rollbar), and I didn't feel like bolting a seat/harness back in the car. There will be more good weather here...

BTW, a big thanks goes out to whomever actually took that photo (and all the other great photos I've collected from the race)! Thanks!!!
