Others.

 

One says it all, a digger and some artsy ones. Great show, awesome turnout of cars and people, just like in Normal times. Hope you like them!

 

Chris Jones is the track photographer at Union County Dragway. He does excellent work. A gallery of SIM photos shot by Chris can be found here

Great coverage. Check back in later for Chris’ take on day 2 (Saturday).

 

Andy & Catdad49 thank you so much for taking the time to post the photos to this thread, I know everyone that didn't attend really enjoyed seeing a great show through your lens. HRP

 

Tom, thank you for adding that link, it seems that Chris has a good eye for what's cool, I really miss your take on the show because as good as Chris Jones is I'm sure you would have photographed a lot of cars you would have captured, non the less Mr. Jones is obviously a excellent photographer. HRP

 

Great photos of what looks like a fun event. Tom, thanks for the photo link.
Spent the weekend in SC. Friday & Saturday in Union, Sunday in Darlington.

Never left my stay at home chair. Thanks guys!

Next year I Will have a camera! The phone picks are OK, but what a pain trying to take a lot of shots without killing the battery. I could have easily taken a few hundred and probably still missed a bunch. Glad to share especially this year, hope everyone is well, Carp.

 

I always take my small digital camera to shows, my steam powered cell phone is so old it doesn't take pictures. HRP

 

What kind is it? Still have a flip phone?! I had a better phone this year, but I know that a camera will be so much easier!

 

It was made before flip phones, it's on it's last leg but what I like about it that it's thin and fit's in my watch pocket.

At one time it would take a photo but not anymore, that's a feature that ceases to work aong with the vibrate feature. HRP

 

Here's the link to Chris Jones' Day 2 (Saturday) coverage. It is well worth a look...good stuff.

Danny, what do you have for a camera?

 

Thanks you again Tom, it sure looks like we missed a great show. HRP

 

I use a inexpensive Kodak digital camera, it does a pretty good job and again,fit's in your pocket. HRP

 

Thanks, I had a similar one yrs. ago and loved it. I will check the Kodak's out. I have an original Brownie in the box (with one flash cube left), but I think that's a little too retro. Guess I'm a little spoiled.

 

I have a small collection of vintage cameras but using a computer having the memory card makes it very easy to upload photo's. HRP

 

My camera was a present many, many yrs. ago, I just happened to keep it along with the original box. Yes, tech has definitely made picture/ picture sharing easier.

 

The only time this Falcon has all 4 wheels on the ground is when it's staging or in the pits. HRP

 

Were the Fuel Altereds there?

 

Hey guys...I'm with you...still using my old Motorola flip phone and an old Kodak EasyShare digital camera

It's funny, I was on the cutting edge of computer tech back in the (DOS) day...but the technology has long passed me by. I hung onto my Windows 95 until it's dying day and NOTHING supported it anymore I suppose the phone is next to go...

 

Anybody see this one run? How did it do? Interesting little car.

 

Danny, they have "The Patriot" running Strong, should be a contender this year! Frank, Rat Poison was there, but had an incident in his race with the funny car. Driver was OK, but car had front end damage. There were several other altereds and about a half a dozen FEDs. They put on a Great show, always some action on the track!

 

That is one of the small 5/8 scale legends fiberglass cars originally built for a inexpensive way to het into asphalt racing, most were powered bu a 140 HP Yamaha motor cycle engine.

I wasn't at the event so I don't have any idea of it's speed but I have seem them run a Charlotte and they are quick. HRP
