DT- Great pictures!! I went to this even in 2002. I went with a bunch of friends and we had a blast. The weather didn't look that good this year.

Thanks a bunch!

Umm, this is kind of awkward, but I have this awesome pot photo of you in the pit - guy bending over into the passenger side window. When I was running the slideshow with the wifey, she was like "Wow, check out the *bleep* on that guy" I can only hope it's you

I have an AMAZING picture of the #91 hood - it was propped behind the stands at the podium area. Felt like it really sort of captured some of the emotion of the event. I'll post that too.

As Dave can attest it was pretty crappy for the first 2/3rd's or so. Sunday was amazing though.

If anyone wants the full 3008x2000 version of any of these, I have those as well, and they're not quite as compressed. The #91 and #75 are also cropped. If anyone wants a specific size (like you're running a 1280x1024 or 1680x1050 monitor)I can knock that out too.

Here's few more pics - some of the "wounded" post race from the garage (I think this garage area was only GT cars).

Yeah, this is it - I love this with the confetti, the aftermath of what it took to go 24 hours, the sort of quiet after the storm:

Nope, my *bleep* stays on this side of the wall, I do my work in the design office, long before the race. I'd guess that is Tyler, or Ray in the picture...both are single.

That is an awesome picture, the thrill of victory, and the agony of defeat...or at least the agony of the 24 hours.

Since this is a Corvette forum, here's a shot of one of our drivers that you may know...


The rest of the pix I have online are here:

Nice Johnny O' pic - I would've like to have hooked up for an autograph.

A few more - cropped and tweaked the hairpin shot - that was during a real downturn in the weather just before evening (so low, ugly lighting) - since the #91 is kind of a grey color, I reduced the color sat of everything around it. That was through the fence over by the temp seating.
