Chuck-- Thanks!
Although I had the idea for the "God's-eye view" shots, I didn't have the photo skills nor the guts to hang over the edge. Photographer Dan Whelchel had both.
(Click either of the following photos to see Dan's work for Total 911 Magazine.)
I was just the ground-bound wimp who documented the show

No bribe necessary -- it would be my privilege.

Besides, last time I gave a RLer a ride, he climbed aboard with another, then left me with a check made "to cash" that my bank wouldn't accept


True story, but no worries -- a great weekend with man & his best friend ^^

We'll have to make that happen somehow, somewhere.
Seems you & I had similar hopes to attend Sep 24's FDM drive, but neither of us made it.

I'm aiming to be at Rennsport Reunion IV. If that works & if my parade lap ticket finally arrives: any chance I can chauffeur you around the track?
Monterey usually has wonderful weather

Since we've brought this back from the dead.............

Here's where mine is residing lately. Top this, you artsy types.

(I've actually driven it a couple of times this week. I suppose it will be at Laguna in two weeks, cracked/pitted windshield and all. When the Pepsi order showed up Friday I actually was sweating it out that the car being a widebody might screw me up. Had to roll before I could break down those pallets, and wasn't coming back to the shop.)

Oh I had the view the Saturday before changing the lights. ~20 feet up there with some 8' bulbs, last thing on my mind was having a camera handy.

I just had to try taking the picture. It was scary and hard but using the belt on my pants and strapped it to railing of my veranda helped.

That's what makes these 993 photos so rare & rewarding.
Any shots of you getting the shot?
