As some of you know, I was involved with a photoshoot for Motor Trend Classic, a new publication by Motor Trend focusing on classic cars of all sorts. Well, I recieved my copy today and WOW !!! I love it ( of course I do, my car's in there ). But, the photography is stellar. There were 3 of us involved; Greg with his Superbird and Marty with his Talladega and Spoiler. There's also a cool article on a "Vanishing Point" Challenger.

Thanks to ours truly Doug S. for organizing this, it was a FUN and privileged experience...

That's a great picture... Thanks... Where in the heck did you take that from? The infield-side bleachers?

yes, just before the start finish line. at the 10 second mark of the video on mopurr's link, im the one in the green shirt, so you can see the exact spot it was taken from.

Cool!  I'll have to go buy a copy now.  Looks like a good magazine.  I love the Dodge ad..... black cars are my favorite!  I'd also like to read up on the Vanishing Point bit.
