Cool photos, I'll put it up for a few days

Right-click scripts are very annoying, though.

Nope--I didn't make your pics --but they are nice. My engine bay made the TA Nationals website though.

Very nice pictures! Hopefully I can make it to one of these events to take some pictures with my digital SLR I got.

Also, anyone that uses Firefox can EASILY steal your pictures. That script doesn't even work. Not sure why you're even bothering, as IE users can do a trick with the mouse buttons to steal the pictures, too.

"Silver Surfer" correct? I remember your car. I didn't make the T/A Nationals website . I was over by the tech line again this year on the "forgotten parking lot" I'm not going to complain too much since at least it's asphalt.

Thanks for the compliment. I'm by no means a professional photographer, but I do enjoy taking photographs (whether or not they're any good ) Sorry for the low res and small size. With so many pics, I didn't want to eat up a ton of space on my website

Yes, I'm aware of those tricks. Anyone with a Mac can steal them as well. You'd be surprised how many people aren't computer savy enough to steal the pics. The coding is there for them

Y2k--at least you didn't have to park on the grass--i did that for 2 years and it is impossible to keep the dust off of your car.

Yes --I am the surfer. What class were you in ? II

I was on the grass lot in 2001, but have been fortunate enough to be on asphalt ever since. I remember the grass clippings that just wouldn't go away . I spent two years on the main asphalt parking lot (where you were), and the last two years over on the asphalt next to the tech line.

I was in class KK "Light Custom Late '93-Current" (according to the sign). They should probably change that to "Light Custom Late '93-'02"

Please keep my new friend Charlie and his family in your thoughts and prayers. Charlie's Formula (shown above) and my Trans Am were both in the same class at the show, so we hung out during a large part of the weekend. Charlie drove up from Louisiana (Baton Rouge area), and was really concerned about his family back home with the incoming hurricane. Car trouble prevented him from returning home as quickly as he would have liked to, so I hope everything was safe and sound upon his return.

I got an email from Charlie this evening. He and his family are all ok. The only things he lost at home were a large oak tree and a push mower. The tree fell on the mower and squished it. He said he got electricity back yesterday. I guess there are a few gas stations with gas down there, but that they sell out daily.

His car problems amounted to bad pinion and carrier bearings, so it wasn't a gear or carrier problem as we'd first feared.
