    Yep...I took it! Glad it turned out. I'm already looking forward to taking some more next year with all of the new cars. (HINT HINT for you guys who have never been before!!) Do you have one of the full sized pics, or is that one downloaded from Stefan's posting? If you don't have one of the full-sized ones, one of us will have to e-mail you one. They're pretty good sized, but if you get one of the full-sized ones, you can print out a NICE looking 8x11 pic with photo paper. Pretty good for wall-paper for your computer also.

    You can also put text on it with a photo-editor to commemorate the event. Next time, I'll leave off the date stamp. It's pretty easy to crop out with an editor, but I should have just remembered to turn it off. Oh well, I'll have to wait til next year.

    Later,

    T Stone

    Tom, you da man:clap: I can't imagine the pic being any better than the one Dennis e-mailed me. It's huge and the resolution is great, it has been my wallpaper since I got it. I put it on CD and Im taking it to have paper pics made soon.
    We might be able to see a little daylight under that front tire next year;)

    Again...Thx Alot
