FS1 show a few seconds of it live on regular camera.

At the end of Duel2 they replayed it with the Thermal Cam.

Also did Thermal on the Duel2 finish crash.

Pretty Kewl stuff

[SgtBob]

Prerace festivities on a crappy iPhone camera.

The "Big One"?

Bowyer goin' airborne!

Pretty much a clean race 'til Johnson ran out of gas...

[mabarker1]

Sam Bass in Hospital via DW on TV.

I've not been able to find any info as to what's up.

[mabarker1]

Morning Sarge!

What iPhone Ya got?

You might be able to change some settings and get better ones.

[mabarker1]

RE #48

IT’S ALL chad’s FAULT.

He runs the show.

Mama turned to Me last night and asked “Who’s Pit Crew will get stolen this time?”.

I told Her it don’t matter because of My above reason.

The Gas Man stopped when He was told to by The Little WEASEL.

[SgtBob]

Mornin’ ma!

I’ve got an iPhone 4 with iOS 7.0.4. It takes good pics, but when you zoom in, and you’re being jostled by 1000’s of yer closest friends, images get a little blurred.

Did ya get my FReepmail?

[mabarker1]

O.K.

Yeah, I could see the elbow jabbing and grandstand swaying being a problem.

Yes Sir.

[happydogx2]

I talk to myself too but only because my hearing is getting so bad I can’t understand anyone and I haven’t mastered lip-reading yet.

Say it ain’t so - rain is very possible Sunday:

[mabarker1]

If anybody is interested here the Bristol Special

[mabarker1]

Nationwide Qualifying is under a RED FLAG due to rain.

They got Q1 in and I’m guessing they would line up on that if total rainout.

[happydogx2]

Bristol would be fun. It’s on my bucket list but not for this year.
