Keith.. awesome shots of your Chally.. I love the sky background with the clouds..  Good luck in the ET Finals.. all of Infineon is rootin for ya guys.. Hey Mark.. my kid was there in the Duster doing his first "race" on television.. Personally, I think Pinks is a joke and refuse to go back or spend another dime.. (just call me a bitter old man)

Bought one of the track photos? I was along the wall with those guys ... a couple of them were cool, but one of them was 'a little less than cool' and ruffled the feathers of several of the other photographers who were covering the event... he was concerned that we were going to be taking away from his business, I think. I'll see if I have a shot of the TA .... not my cup of tea, so I may not have shot it .... 
Do you have a picture of Troy's old Duster he built?

Hey Jeepmon.. does the Duster have a www.norcal1320.com sticker on the top of the windshield? If so, I've shot that car at Sacramento a couple times before too.. and yeah, I did get some shots of him this weekend ... you can BET MONEY that I'll be taking photos of A-Bodies
I'll see what I can dig up. Since the guys who were shooting for the track made it clear that I'm 'not allowed' to sell my photos from the event, I'm being generous and giving some of them away to my Mopar friends 
And I did get several shots of the purple Duster too.. that thing got some nice wheelstands!!
There was a gal driving a white Valiant that did some of the longest and highest wheelstands from the weekend.. very cool.
That was Lisa Caldwell in the white Dart.. She is a badazz seasoned racer that will be representing Team Infineon at the ET Finals in Sac this year..
and yes.. I do have the Norcal1320 sticker on the windshield.. The story behind it is I agreed to let it be installed by the guys that run that website 2 years ago at the previous PAO event.. My intention was to remove it after that show was over... and I still will.. one day... lol

Troy's old Duster was there running. It was picked for the show as well. It was the FASTEST car that was in the group running low 10.teens. He lost I think in the round of 8. As for Don's statement of not ever runnignone again I concur. There were cars from 10.teens to a 10.54 WOW is that a close grouping  That couple with an obvious deliberate effort to assure a certain car made it to the final 16 pretty much confirmed to me the lack of integrity that this event seems to have. Nice pictures, it was overcast most of the weekend so the clouds were pretty much ever present. Which continued yesterday as well.

Hey guys, Pinks All Out was pretty amazing. I met a lot of nice racers/spectators and had a good time. As far as the E.T. spread on the cars picked... this was addressed with all of the drivers during the driver meeting Saturday morning. Rich asked everyone if they would rather have a .1 spread or a .3 to .35 spread just to allow more drivers to get into the show (ie 64 cars). As you could imagine, everyone wanted to be part of the show, so it was unanimous...
I had no idea that I was the fastest of the field until after I was eliminated in the first round of the all out 16. I guess when I was staging it was announced. If it was not for my rediculous wheelie, I know I would have won that round. When the front end came down, I hit the pan really hard and it just ate up too much E.T. I was pulling him pretty hard but just not enough.
As my 3 year old says, "It was totally wicked"
