You mean an avatar under your name right? Click the profile tab above. Go to the forum profile section. You can direct it to a URL or upload an image. You might need to experiment a bit. It's easy to figure out. Good luck.

ok, could use the stock pics that are offered on the site but can't upload my own "avatar"
mine is only 74kb so shouldn't be a problem but i'll keep trying.

It's too big in dimensional size - not file size. Usually people get it wrong the other way. If you want to use that picture that you just uploaded you need to shrink it to less than 200 pixels wide (it's currently 640 pixels wide and 480 pixels tall).

NO SHOW! Dang.  Anyways, yes, that was me and Jimshine(also on this board). It was a good contrast, because Jim's is more correct for the TV show and mine is more correct(getting there anyways) for the 2005 movie version.  You saw Jim's last year at the All Mopar show. 
I'll pop in and say hi someday and bring up my car so you can check it out if you like.
Too bad no show, I was really looking forward to it.  Jim gave me a video of last years.
have a good one.

Oh man, no show? I was really looking forward to it. I hope you guys do it next year.

Here is a hosted version of Mainlely Motorsports video of last years show. Seeing it again makes me kind of sad for John. But I hope he is okay in time for the next Augusta show.

More pics of our cars from the Show Shine and Drag. I didn't get many as the cars were mobbed most of the time.

  Here is a great photo working free program that I downloaded maybe two years ago, it works great and there were no catches or spamming or bugs, etc., from the free download.  Its Serif Photoplus 6.0.  They give away this version hoping you will buy newer versions in the future, have gotten one email once every two or three months at most.   You can do many of the things photoshop can do, and has huge file storage of your modified pics.  Has a directions index and table of contents, seems a little complicated at first to figure out manual/directions, but once you start figuring out the first things, it is easier to figure out other things, very well worth the time spent.  Main benefit is optimizing photos, which is changing the file size without changeing the width and height of photo, especially if you download digital pictures a lot, they go right into this program if you want, and you can resize them, resize the megabytes of them to under 200K, then export them to your misc. email files or whatever.   You can crop, flip horizontally,vertically, rotate any degree, combine pictures, layer pictures, touch up paint pictures, do photochops, change lighting and contrast to high degrees, do animation, etc., have any questions just ask.  I am not associated with this software at all, just sharing my good luck finding this:
