    Awsome pics but I looked like a bobble head as I scrolled through them, why you tip the camera so much?

    From the looks on their faces, it was a very good time, and the crowd loved it:)

    One couple asked me to sign a copy but did not have pen felt bad they said they would come back never saw them again. As for why drive in mud hole? I built mine to drive. Not to sit around pet it running on the track was the best time I have had in long time. And I didn't have to look in the mirror for cops those pics are awesome.

    Brad - I tried to keep the crowd control to a minimum....
    I am sure you saw the throngs of screaming fans as you exited the dirt track........I am sorry the security breach happened at that time.
    I think you were satisfied with the way we snuck you in though....the brinks truck never fails to give the m***es the slip.

    As for pens......well - the silver ink pens ran out - we thought 10 of those would be enough....so then we switched to plain old sharpies and I think we had 2 boxes? We had about 4 left at the end of the weekend - your hand MUST be tired.
    Again - thanks for coming to the show - it is the surprise celebrity appearances like yours that make the show fun for people.........

    most choose not to

    we had about between 550- and 600 cars

    only about 60 went on the dirt - so not everyone wanted to do it - but it is FUN for those that do and it is FUN for those that get to watch.......
    not sure you heard - our show is about having FUN

    that is the point
    if you cant have fun - stay home

    there are no at***udes at our show - no trophies - no whining

    come in - have a good time

    see some stuff that you dont see every week - soak it up

    have some FUN

    Thanks everyone except...
    Thanks for checking out the pics.

    Don't tip your head.

    Reasons I tip the camera
    - to fit the car in the shot better when something is just out side of the shot that I don't want in
    - because when you see a different perspective your sub-conscious takes note and you look a little closer than when it's just what your brain expects to see. Which is why you see a lot of shots from different angles from what you see walking around.
    - because it looks kool...duh

    Outstanding work! I really like your style and technique. The colours pop, the images are sharp and I looked through every one and didn't find the tilted perspective distracting in the least. I didn't even really notice it in fact, which means it's just the right amount. ;)

    Keep it up, and thanks for sharing!
