Title: Who took this photo
Post by: Seldom Seen Slim on January 24, 2014, 05:38:25 PM
Okay, folks.  Jack Rogers #757 car -- the old Doll-Fox-Christopherson car -- is pictured here.  Jack has a low resolution copy -- and would really like it if the photographer got in touch.  It's a great shot - and he'd like the original if possible.  If you know who took it -- or that's your shot -- please get in touch with Jack.  On this site he's jfr757.

Nope,

I think this one is not done with my camera....

nice shoot...looks like a early morning return run shoot on course 1.....the track was so in October 2012....and as I remember right...I stand to this time on the starting line of
course 2 to get my Red Hat.....

but pointing on me....not too wrong....I got lots of picture in this way.....but I think not from Rogers racer....I got his Camaro's at speed on the track....

Thanks for the guesses, but so far it's still up in the air.  Jack asked Ray the Rat who looked at the exif data and determined that it was taken with a camera that is neither his nor PP's.  I didn't take the time to fill in that bit of info last night.  We'll keep looking and hoping to find out.  Jack thanks you.

We were able to get it figured out!  I randomly came across it in a photo set that was posted on here for SpeedWeek 2010.  I was able to get the original version as well as the other photos taken in the set and emailed them to Jack.  The gentleman is Ken Rappaport and is a super class act!  Big thanks to him for getting us the originals! This site is always awesome for helping get things figured out and information about the salt to everyone that is interested!!
