Sweet Shot's Eric!!! It was great to meet ya at Max's Place....! Gonna have to hook up earlier in October, and you'll have to join us in "the pit" for a session of Qualifying!!! Nothing better than JOE, SCHOEN, TIMMAH, COOK (and senior Kentucky Cook), AND MARKY MARK K, Sippin a few beverages while Flores looks at us shaking his head and all of us "CALL OUR SHOTS", (more than one btw) during a qualifying session in the "PIT!"

Great time this weekend bro....and outstanding pics!!!

Re: Vegas Pics

I don't know what you do for a day job, but you should quit it and be head photog for ND! Top notch pics!

The only complaint I have (Bill Sweeney will get this immediately)....
No Kim Anderson pics? That 'aint right!

Re: Vegas Pics

Thanks for the comments guys. I am a financial anaylst for a health insurance by day.

My camera was a Canon 350D with my 80-200 or 35-80. I missed a lot of shots but came out with some real winners. My key is to use a shutter speed of 1/50ish of a second, which is tricky with nitro cars.

Re: Vegas Pics

By the time I saw you, it was final eliminations and then the stands cleared out. Was hoping to meet up with you at the Mater/VegasFuel meet and greet, but you had other plans obviously
