Speaking of Pork Pie's photos, he kindly gave us a big enlargement (something like 20 x 36 or so) of the Speed Demon at speed during one of it's fastest runs.  Not only is the car stopped dead by the camera's shutter -- but you can easily see the "burbling" of the exhaust and air mixture right where the exhaust is vented to the atmosphere.  That photo was taken while the car was somewhere north of 450 -- maybe it was the 462 exit speed run.

Try that with your Brownie Instamatic camera! :cheers: :cheers:

Not only a great foto guy, Pork Pie can interpret that pic to show you your drag areas and suggest fixes to improve your aero.  His advise helped get the bike to a 2 Club record under the old aero rules. 
Amazing what you can see at the white dyno wind tunnel...  :cheers: :cheers:

Oh, and he's a pretty good driver too  :-D

I'd suggest getting in touch with him and asking for a copy.  Being the size that it is and the fact that he is a professional -- I expect it won't be free :roll:, but still -- ask.  It's quite the photo, hung up on our wall with the other racing memorabilia and photos.

Mikey,
I would almost bet if you PM Pork Pie, you could work something out.  He could send it to your electronically so you could have it printed in any size your want... it is probably 10 to 30 Meg...
