It's hard not to love that fellow.

FREUD

Oh man.  That pic looks familiar.  undecided

I believe it might have been Pork Pie who offered to take pictures of our truck last year at Speed Week but I had to decline due to family considerations.  I had already promised my kids to play with them. 

Pork Pie, if that was you, I hope you didn't take offense, as none was intended.



I think not.....due to this that normally the racers comes to me and ask to do picture from there racer.....they keeps me busy enough  grin  .......but there is no wonder that I look familiar.......after all the years at the salt I'm a part of the salt.......when I'm around the starting line you will see me about 20-30 yards out on the track to pick the starting racer from the front with the starting grid behind.

A other reason why I think it was not me.......the color of you racer  rolleyes ....white  undecided .......an absolute nightmare for a photographer.....white on white..... but otherwise....if I had done picture from you, you would be very happy with them wink I think so........

That's good.  The gentleman had a European accent, and was upset that I wouldn't take the truck out of impound to get pictures for a diesel mag.  I felt I might have come off as grouchy.

May be a first time tourist from Europe.....but I think I didn't count anymore as a beginner  grin

But, honestly, if you like to make a shooting with the truck....let me know....may be I can catch you on the starting line, too....what color got your parachute?

I'd love to get some pictures of our truck if you get any.   cheers  It has a black parachute, and will be running the short course.  It has lots of stickers on it now, since I heard that each sticker is worth 10 horsepower.  So I added 200 HP.

Yes, I would agree a fat white 3/4 ton truck isn't a very sexy model for photography.  But what else would a fat white 3/4 ton guy drive?  Cheesy

Even if it is white it certainly is not hard to find.

When the cloud changes from black to white, that means we are through for the week.  It's just like a surrender flag, except there is no French content on the truck.
