How'd you know that?

LOL... with a 70mm lens!

test

After a certain number of names it will do that.

[glock rocks]

I think it’s a certain number of characters. For example, if you put in tubebender, glockrocks and peterbilt, you will have exceeded your limit of characters, and all you’ll see is “...” which is computer shorthand for ‘why in the world do you associate with so many characters?’

Tomorrow morning, you’ll get up, type something (anything) into Google, and you’ll get “...”

Or maybe the software just hates me. That’s my experience with computers in a nutshell.

Busy place!

As I said in previous post, first time that the Cup cars have lined up like this for the start. The ones that follow are checking out the zoom..

I'm on the floor.......

[glock rocks]

Just awesome. Thank you.

Referring to your first pic, do you know what the function of that box hanging on the pole (it says ‘musco’ on the sign) is used for? Is it a digital substitute for the old signs that said the team sponsor’s name?

[NYTexan]

‘why in the world do you associate with so many characters?’

I've been wondering that for years now!

[glock rocks]

... and what are all the yellow fishing pole thingys for?

[glock rocks]

Yah, but ya keep coming back. We’ll probably all have a toast of some Thorazine in the same institution some day...

[LasVegasMac]

the function of that box hanging on the pole (it says ‘musco’ on the sign)

That box is a light.

And it's not a tree-hugger type light.

Mega wattage type light for when the sun goes down.

[glock rocks]

Aha, gotta maintain that tan when on the road... don’t wanna end up in Atlanta lookin all pale and sickly :o)

[glock rocks]

Oh! We’re looking right into the business end of the thing. It shines sorta upstream so it doesn’t blind the drivers.

I’ll get better at this racin thing. Promise.

[LasVegasMac]

and what are all the yellow fishing pole thingys for?

Car numbers so the drivers can see where their pit stall is.

Look directly above the #1 car......

Don't ask why there is another one only feet to the right. The backup pole?

[glock rocks]

Richard Petty came out and crossed in front of us on a golf cart going to the helicopter pad

he stopped long enough to shake hands and I blorted some 10 word drivel about king, long time fan and missing old school racing

-- PeteRBilt

... and some people wonder why we do this. (and I haven't blorted since I met Craig Breedlove on the Salt Flats.)

[glock rocks]

The backup pole?

wayward bass fisherman?

I'm better now. I think I got the pit mostly figured out. I just might have to accompany Pete next time to come down and watch some racin.

[LasVegasMac]

Yep, all lights canted to the left, away from the eye balls.

[LasVegasMac]

Like I told Pete, what ever ya do, spend the $$ for a Neon Garage Pass. $150 ea, but damn, it is all right there....

[glock rocks]

Start savin now in other words :o)

Only a bro would say that! Too funny.

Breedlove - same dude running the thumper speed boats, right?

[glock rocks]

I think that’s Chris. Craig drove jet cars... Spirit of America, etc.
