If any pictures show click on the upper left picture then you can go through them all. Ignore the sign in thing. It doesn't affect anything.

What do you see when you click on the link?

Do both links do the same thing?

Hi greg this is all I get when I use the links no picture to click on. Has me stumped for sure.

Ron, This link is using Google+ instead of Google Photos so hopefully it will work:

I just sorted out what's likely happening. I've been using Chrome instead of IE as a browser for the last while. I went back and tried Internet Explorer and got the same result as those reporting no pictures, just the title. I'm still using Vista, but it appears at some point I'm going to have to upgrade.  

My Chrome browser seems to be doing the trick for now.

Day started off VERY overcast, misty, foggy, dreary.....just nasty but no rain!  
Started clearing mid morning and nice day from early afternoon on.
Lots of run by both cars and bikes. I think top speed so far for bikes is in the mid 220's and for cars in the low 230's.
GOOD racing overall.

One highlight for me today, as you will see in my pics, was seeing the BEAUTIFUL "Pretty Woman" Thunderbird Coupe that was Ron Pruett's AA/GALT.....outstanding car and it's for sale!
Just as a teaser, I attached a pics of "Pretty Woman"

I'll stop the blabbering now so here is my Google Photos link:

Having thought about todays racing, two runs REALLY stick out in my mind (caveat....IIRC)
One of the slowest and one of the fastest.

1st was the 50cc sidecar scooter of Darrell White that went 60+.
Build diary on this board will tell you all about this scooter: http://www.landracing.com/forum/index.php/topic,14329.0.html


2nd was Bob Hustler's Wayne Jessel NASCAR Dodge powered Ford probe at 230+:
Last September went 222 with a single carb and over the Winter went to 2 carbs and picked up 50-60 HP!

You can own this roller and here is the ad: http://www.landracing.com/forum/index.php/topic,15421.0.html

Bob Drury,

Today, I did give Villa a BIG hug for you as you told me to do when I was out there!
She was EXTREMELY surprised to know that I had met/knew you.....I had to explain!
VERY SWEET LADY!!!!!

I LOVE this sport because of the incredible ingenuity of some of the builders.
Case in point, my last five pics are of Jack Iliff's (jacksoni on here) 3522 G/GC Nissan 240SX.
Block, crank, etc. is a Pontiac SD 4 cyl and the head is from an Infinity IRL engine.     WOW      

Gregg

Thanks Gregg. Great to meet you. Went 154.7 first run, best ever here. Some trans and shifter issues landed on the second and went from 2nd gear to 5th, skipping over 3 and 4. Still went 142. Things fixed and now waiting out the rain Sat afternoon. Radar looks promising for this system to move out though forecast still suggests showers/t-storms. Of course you know this.

Naturally, not many pics due to the events here today.
All of these pics are from the start line and staging lanes.

Here is my Google Photos link:

We'll see what happens for tomorrows racing.

As usual, I hope you enjoy.
