Man this car can boogie!

Speaking of cars, Keith got some great shots of a couple of recent Autocross events in the area.

Tuesday - November 30, 2004

I'm told this thing should be updated with a little more frequency, my bad.

For those patiently awaiting the photos from Moroso and Jennings, I received good and bad news this morning...depending on where you were. They were able to save the Moroso shots, but there is physical damage to the disk where the Jennings photos are located, and it will take more time and cost more money for me to salvage those. I debated for a moment and asked them to go ahead and work on getting the Jennings shots. I was told they would call back Thursday with an update.

Not much else to talk about. As mentioned on our Yahoo group, area businesses are closed for the off-season, so if you plan to ride at the Gap, bring your own gas or plan on long trips to the nearest fuel providers. There is still good weather in small windows, but the reduced traffic means more debris on the road...the leaves and particularly the pine needles near the north end can really pile up just outside the normal line you would run. Usually if I'm in the car I'll try to run through any lines of gravel in the road or pine needles to scatter things around and speed up the removal process. (hint hint car drivers)

If you are jonesing for your Gap fix, now might be a good time to suggest the Tail of the Dragon DVDs to your loved ones as gift ideas. There's a little bit of everything on there, culminating with a full run through at the end of each DVD. Disc 1 ends with a run from multiple angles in the early 90s. There are no other bikes on the road during the entire run, and only a couple of cars. Disc 2 ends with me running through and 2 locals following, shot from the back seat of my bike looking backwards. It's hot.

From our Yahoo Group:

"Two good friends of mine were run over by an idiot
who couldn't keep his car in his own lane around two
months ago. Both are lucky to be alive and are making
slow recoveries. The insurance money has long since
run out and both are suffering from some one else's
stupidity. A mutual friend has taken it on himself to
collect a fund to help them out. If you can help,
donations can be sent to;

Dennis Shepherd
7051 Joe Ching Rd West
Semmes, Al 36575

Thanks,
Mark"

200+ emails and 25 phone messages...woohoo.

Appearantly the hard drive in the laptop died yesterday. All of the shots from Moroso, and most of the shots from Jennings are on there. Now it looks like I'll have to send the HD to a data recovery service to see what we can salvage. I created some place-holders in the store and I'll get those online as soon as possible.

I'm off to answer emails then work on orders. (REALLY behind)

Wow, a bike powered by chainsaw motors.

Tomorrow we are off to Florida for 10 days to shoot trackdays in West Palm Beach this weekend and Jennings the following. Y'all behave and no parties!

Thursday - November 4, 2004

Well the response to my comments about the lane crossing thing last week have been 100% in agreement. We had a very productive discussion over in our Yahoo Group and several excellent solutions were proposed. We'll work on something this winter, I'll keep ya informed.

We did not shoot any at Deal's Gap last weekend.  I shot trackdays at Carolina Motorsports Park for STT, and Keith did the Halloween thing with his kid. Here come the highlights...

Cynthia is always a character...she found a mohawk to better express her wild streak.
