94 is the best you could do?

Great pics!

Thanks for sharing!

The pictures are great!  Looks like a lot of fun!  Definately one for the memory books.   :coolgleamA:

Man Doug, you really should have not put the crappy picture of me up there. There was plenty of good looking cars to take pictures of yet you wasted memory space on your camera on a picture of me.

Looks like Mike A's basement has not changed much since the mid 1980's. Is that an air hockey table in the background? He had one in the basement in the 80's that I remember playing a ton, that at a video game but don't remember which one it was. I think it was either pac man or frogger.

Is that an offer to trade your turn-key Daytona for two project cars... or all three project cars?  Remember, the Superbird is a 4 Speed car...

Awesome pics of what looked like an awesome time!

That Wellborn museum is, well, Im speachless :drool5:

The parts department in the Welbourne's museum was incredible. If I had a 71 car I would have been in heaven, then again just seeing all the Aero cars in one place was pretty cool as well.

Thanks so much Doug for sharing your great photos. You and your camera take some great pics. It was so awesome seeing you all there, too bad we have to wait another five years for the next one. As cool as all the car stuff is, the best part is getting to see many of our friends and enjoying this great event together.

It was good to see everyone--

we'll have to coordinate who's going where next year.  maybe Marty will once again venture into the great lakes state...


and lean on Danny there for the pics--not only is his equipment better than mine he's a LOT better versed in using it.  post up!

You should have taken Angrier.

I'm sure everyone would have really gotten a kick out of seeing it there.

Figured you could have done some reporting action durring the event.
Or are you at SEMA?

It just takes so darn long to resize them down to 200K when they are 23Megs per photo. I'll try to sort through them and post some that aren't a similar angle to what has already been posted.

Ain't that the truth.. There has to be some form of mass-scaling capability for all files in a directory....

23 megs -AKA 5 day download using dial-up   :o    ;D

Yeah and the other thing is if I put them on a DVD it would be on 5 disc. So that doesn't really work either unless one has a blue ray reader then I could burn a blue ray disc for them.

those are temptingly cheap...the media's still expensive, though.
