Well *I* liked 'em!

For the first time EVER, our recording failed so any pictures are good pictures and some of these are great pictures.

BTW, can I see the race on RD? I've never had to do that before. Sorry to wander off topic.

Yes, RD has race replays (or did....I dint re-up after last season's freebies @ season's end :saywhat: ).

Or as Steve said, itz being repeated on Speed Wed @ noon ET.

EDIT, WN, nice pics. Reminds me of when my wife got me a super pass @ MO back in '99. I was outside the fence just outside of the Esses with my lil' POS Canon pint and shoot w/guys shooting $5K+ gear. Priceless. :)

I just checked RD, and yes, it's up. :thumbup:

btw, WN, nice shots! Glad to see you finally found a hole in the fence. ;)

[tantra]

Thanks. Wish I could have been there.

Your location for the point and shoots was a great place for you to experience the roar, the whine, the sounds tires struggling for grip, the gear boxes taking the beating, the smell of methanol exhaust, the vivid colors .......... oh, hell, wish I had been there to share the excitement.

Sorry to contribute to the hijack, but I can't find it. :confused:

Look under the On Demand tab, then scroll down to May 14.

Interesting... it appears their using the same fencing that was used at the last Houston street race.

Far stronger than that chain link stuff you see at some tracks.

Amazing how those puppies shine under the lights, isn't it? (and I'm not talking about Rahal's head).

Thx, also, guys for the replay info. I have it set to tape.

Perhaps those tires were rejected from the factory as defective and then sold under the condition they were made unusable. But why not recycle them? :/
