Budman Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 The greatest of the great were from that era in my book. The Texas contengent ............. Foyt, Larson, McElreath, Ruby and Rutherford were all a big part of it. If only we knew then what we know now, when we watched them. Of course the problem is, none of it was ever televised. None of that racing was done in this part of the country. You could only read about some of it way after the races were held, in whatever publication you could get your hands on. Fortunately this stuff is now showing up on the internet. It is amazing to actually get to finally watch some of this stuff.

Budman Posted July 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 You Bet H/T, we'd love to have you along. My son joined up with us up there on Saturday for the race Saturday night. We probably had more fun on Friday though, than we did for the race on Saturday night. Unlike N-car, the IRL gives fans full access to the garages if you buy a pit pass. Friday they tech, then a long practice, then adjust for qualifying, qualify, then adjust to race trim and practice again. Lots of activity back and forth from garages to track and back. On Saturday they never move out of the garages until Saturday night just before race time. I got this shot of Dano with the FLY-OVER CREW. They, coincidentially were based out of Randolf. He took this shot as I wandered about aimlesslly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dano36 Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 Its all on disk Mike. I print only those I want to either give to someone or put someplace special. Like the one of you giving the thumbs up. So what I do have is about 4 CDs full. Best part of digital photography, you can store them easily. Just sometimes get hard to find when you get so many. Most of the ones I have printed I gave away. Not one single race pic on my walls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budman Posted August 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 Speaking of "Thumbs UP" here's the one I got of Tony Kanaan. Actually, we got pics of a number of the drivers. I don't even have them all downloaded and sized yet. I'll post those as I get to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Budman Posted August 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 Yep Jakdad. Oh, he has his moments, but still a lovable cuss, nonetheless. Here is Simona, still with the compression gloves on for the burns she received in that bad practice crash at Indy the month before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budman Posted August 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 There was an excellent field of 30 cars for the start of the race. Dano got Davey Hamilton to pause long enough for this excellent pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiTech Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 im surprise takes dano 10 minutes to aim that thing .another to find the button .......or did you catch his attention with those eyes ...just long enough for dano to get lucky // Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dano36 Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 Mike. You must be talking about some other picture taker. I have auto focus so all I have to do is point and shoot. When I bought it I told the guy at Nikon that I wanted a camera that even Mike HiTech could use. Toughest picture I ever took was you Mike.
