So NO ONE went???
OMG y'all missed some great F-body fun.
LS motored cars in the 7's!!!! and they were on MT Streets!
I'll make a folder in my webshots when I get through the pictures. I must have took 800.
Lew from Muscle cars, and Joe from HP TV were there.

Charlie, did you get any pics of the guys who ran in the True Street Class? If you did see if you can find any of the white T/A that came in 2nd place. I want to copy and print them out since that car belongs to Mike Mester and he's in the car club here along with me and is a friend of mine. Thanks!

Sue I used a friends Hi dollar digital and will get the pixs later - when I do I'll look for it. I may have cause I took near 800 pics.
We all rode in the true street class 30 mile run - amazing thing was not one of the 60 to 80 cars had a failure and some of these were very wicked.
With the big camera the track people thought I was with the Media and I got to sit on the west wall with the cars passing within a few feet. While it was a dangerous place to be it was still quite a rush.
Wait till you see the Orange Camaro's wheel stand - I got the bottom side view

They busted the oil pan when it came down. They should have gotten some of

Neat on getting to sit where you weren't supposed to but I bet you got some great shots cause of that.
Do you remember where the orange Camaro was from?
Cool on looking for it, thanks. Oh and with the white T/A, it'll have Missouri plates on it and probably a chute on the rear end too.

Nice Charlie, but danggggg, could those pics be any bigger?
Wish I could see the rear end of that car so I could be sure, but that looks like the Z that belongs to the Tosto brothers from here in St. Louis.

The Z belongs to Exotic Performance Plus
The Tosto Brothers were there - I recall the anouncer saying their name
The big pics came from a digital SLR Canon - I want one!

Cool. I know that there are several cars that look like theirs, that's why I usually have to see the rear end of the car to tell if it's their car or not.
That's a really nice camera and it takes great pics but I know it isn't cheap.
Formyla
Oct 21 2007, 05:26 PM
Yes - aint cheap 1.5K
I may save to get a Sony for about $700 that is similar yet not as full functions
It has burst which is rapid picture taking =- excelent for action Car shots
Did you go to www.LSXtv.com and look at the videos?
I think they were on one of the vids
Look see if you know anyone on the one where Lou from Muscle Cars interviewed Eastside -

Sorry I haven't yet but I haven't even had the time to go look at the regular pics either.

Oh for the want of another 24 hours in my 24 hour days so I could get 8 hours worth of stuff done.
But that cheaper cam should work for you for now even with less features. I know that even with my low end cam that I don't use half the features that are on it so I probably wouldn't use alot of the ones even on the cheaper one you want to get.

Cool you were there too Quickchicken
I probably have pics of your car on Tims camera. I need to get a copy of the disc of all the shots I took.
The car show was great - it was a treat to see the Berger cars too.
I did get to meet Lou - he is a real down to earth guy and really loves the car live style
We were in the pit next to Eastside - the second day video on the LSXTV.com web page
