Freud, I askedthe local photo shop guyy-- who makes a living doing enlargements of historical photos, etc --and he uses his Epson 3270-- says that while it'll scan to 3200 dpi -- that 300 is good enough for most of his customers. I've got an older 3170 -- will gie it a try one of these days.

On 9-27-08 we lost a great friend and fellow racer, he was the BEST, he helped anyone with anything at anytime. His name is Dave Owen and he will be missed by all that knew him and I am glad to have met him.
Seeing him at Bonneville during 2008 Speedweek was the tops, Dave was in awe of the salt and as usual was there helping out anyone who asked..simply put we lost a great man who will be missed by all.

Buddy Martinez, the second man to exceed 200 MPH on an open bike and one of his Eyeball engineering masterpieces. The only problem was that it spit him off. This was 1975.

Jim Lindsleys "bird. His granddaughter, Larry's daughter, licensed and drove this car. She also wrenched it.
It's a racing family.
Stainless, do you remember her name?

When Lindsey and Leggitt ran the 333 a couple of years ago, I was at the starting line when they fired it up, pretty easy to tell that it had a pretty good load of "soda pop" in it and I asked one of the crew what the percentage was and he responded wiht 72%. Which probably explains why they only ran to the 3 mile. Still one of the most awesome cars I have ever seen run.

Great shot of Buddy in the pits with his bike -- and a proper wrench! Note, of course, the ominous-looking puddle of black stuff under the rear tire. We see once again why the "tarps under the vehicles" rule was enacted.

I believe now in parrallel universes, 'cause I've posted this reply twice before -so I thot.
Slim, ya gotta forgive Buddy for the oil slick - it was a Harley.
Freud, thanks for the pictures of Buddy. Consensus on the bike unloading might have been from the quick and dirty bodywork by Doug Kruse filling up with air and like a kite, flying the fromt end.
Yrs truly was at the announcing stand waiting for a time when Flanders, in his typical nonplussed attitude asked the far end "You mean he's down cousre, or just Down?" or words to that effect.
That event is how and why the picture posted sometime back and hopefully now again came about.
I was there with the Eyeball Swift streamliner which I drafted the frame and put in a few hours on but we never met.
