Just got my video and some of the pictures uploaded. Since people seemed to like my video from last year, I put together another one this year. Big difference though is that I got rid of my crappy Sony digi cam and got a Cannon S5IS. The camera took amazing action shots, and great quality video. Here is the video; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-E_w6PBjME Here are the pictures I've uploaded so far; http://s68.photobucket.com/albums/i2/Moloko68/Jalopy Showdown 2008/Action/ And here are some previews; Once again thanks to Larry and his crew for putting on a great show. Even rain can't put this show down.
Where are all the guys hanging the ass end out on the track tossing dirt everywhere? Looked like a bunch of cars making parade laps trying to see how muddy they could get.
Great stuff-that shot of the 999 making the big splash is cool. "Looked like a bunch of cars making parade laps trying to see how muddy they could get." Some of them got wilder than others,but they kind of frown on anyone trying to knock the fences down,so.....<!-- / message --><!-- sig -->
Yeah, there is a 40mph speed limit, and if you take out a piece of fence, or cause any other damage, you pay for it. On top of that, the track was so slippery this year most cars couldn't even reach 40. I almost fell on my ass everytime I had to cross from the infield to the outside.
I got there just as everyone was leaving I spent about 4 hours Sunday morning getting the mud off my car from a few minutes in the infield. It looked like it was fun.......999 was sitting sideways completely covered in mud. I offered Clark a ride in the T but maybe after he hcleaned up !! 2009 !!!
Ok, here are the rest of the pictures of the show. http://s68.photobucket.com/albums/i2/Moloko68/Jalopy Showdown 2008/ And some previews;
