Pictures from Speed Week
« on: September 12, 2013, 11:00:16 AM »
One of the many many perks of working 14 hour days out in the hot sun is every once in a while someone is nice enough to give you a little swag.  One such piece of swag I got was a shirt that said www.runs-on-salt.com on it.  I got home, gave it a wash, tried it on and it fits nicely.  Decided to check out the site and was impressed by the quality of the pics.  So, with that, give it a go: http://www.runsonsalt.com/

BTW what I really like about looking at such nice pics is that it's almost like being there and although it's barely been a month, I wish I were there again now.

It opened just fine for me Glen, and it's worth getting it to open. The pictures are great.

Thanks for bringing it to our attention Nathan.

The first one works, the second one probably doesn't because it's incorrect. The hyphens make all the difference.
EDIT: I just clicked on both links and they both work. Maybe just an Internet glitch?

Make sure you check out Simon Davidson's stuff as well. He won't have a gallery up from this year, but plenty from previous events.

Once you see Simon's fotos you will always be able to pick out his unique style.

Just for kicks, here's a little video I slapped together last night of a few cars leaving the line. There's something about the openness of the salt and the sound of the engine as it roars off into the distance.

Great video!

Ah poop. Not sure how I missed it as I put ALL of the results into an Excel spreadsheet (that was a mission in itself...) and just noticed they went 233.814 on Monday. Probably because I do this stuff in the middle of the night! :)

I'll put a comment in the video or something. Cheers Stan Back.
