    Default Runoffs pictures

    Hello all,

    If you were at the runoffs, there is a chance I may have pictures of you. I can send to anyone who sends me their email and car #. I just do this for fun so the pictures aren't pro quality. Plus they are often times taken from places a regular photographer won't or can't go to (since I work rescue).

    Jeff,
    I'd be interested in anything you might have gotten of me. Somehow, in all that 'down time' that we have during the week, we somehow, NEVER seem to think of taking any pictures ... of anything .

    The email requests are flooding in, if I make a mistake and send you the wrong pictures by accident just let me know.

    Some of the pictures came out slightly out of focus, so I'm just sending the best pictures

    Jeff,
    Thanks VERY much. One of your pix showed me something I've been trying to get all year. Unfortunately, the pix are so good, they also show all the DEFECTS in the paint and bodywork that I'm so bad at .

    Steve,

    Next year no one will notice - everyone will be too busy looking at the fancy paint job you'll be sporting on your helmet next year. Congrats on your prize!

    Maybe so, but all I had to do to get that was wait till they pulled my name out of a hat. I'd gladly swap that to have a run like you did on Saturday. Nice job. The pack for second wasn't really THAT bad - you were just putting down laps faster than 90% of the guys in that pack .. lap after lap. I'd guess that our "pestering each other" was only costing us on average about a second a lap... you were putting about 1.5 secs on us - that makes for a pretty big gap at the end (about what Vettel was putting on the field .. when he wanted to).

    Just so you'll know... we're COMING AFTER YOU next year, !BIG TIME! .

    Thanks Steve,

    My car was absolutely perfect for that race. I'm expecting you guys to be aiming for me next year....I just hope I can stay a step ahead!

    The first challenge for me will be just getting to Laguna.

    Steve drives to and from grid with his helmet sitting on top of his head. I always thought he did that so he would only look a foot shorter than Kummer, instead of two feet shorter.

    I think I'm STILL 2 feet shorter - even with the helmet .

    At the Runons, I almost always WEAR everything to the grid .... don't want to get caught short (pun intended) like Loshak did...

    Default Run off pictures

    I also have posted MANY pictures of the vees at the run offs. If you have a Facebook account just like my page "West Coast Formula Vees" and check them out. A lot of pit pictures along with racing ones.

    Enjoy,

    For Trade FV Runoffs photos

    Jeff, I'd be interested in photos of car numbers 2, 3, 12, 36, 70, 76 and 90. I'm at jkearney@midpenn.org. My camera crashed early on. Thanks, Jim

    Jeff,

    Can I get every single picture of car #65 on track and also during prep time.

    Mike.... can you provide all corresponding data of throttle input, steering, braking, shifting points, entry and exit speeds per each turn, also drag coefficients with egt temps and cylinder head temp with cooling volume directed towards heads... don't forget also the levels of excitement at each turn on each lap would be appreciated with tire pressures.

    Thanks,

    JD

    Sure that would be a great baseline to start with.

    Thanks in advance!

    Sorry Jim, that's top secret material.. I don't think you have a security clearance that goes that high

    The excitement level in this picture broke the meter. Now I have to get it repaired.

    Getting swamped with requests for pictures. I've posted the best ones on Photobucket. Hopefully this link will work.
