Nice Pics!

I take it that that is Autobahn Racer on your side?

That is one beautiful and fast ride you have there.

What a process to have these photo's taken. I think the photographer was at the track for 10+ hours yesterday, and only worked on two cars. Short-Throw was kind enough to drag me into his photo-shoot. It was fun, but more challenging than I thought. There's this photographer hanging out of the back of a mini-van, telling the cars to get closer, closer, closer. There's the BEAST's new paint job, and my fenders getting closer, closer, closer. I was more nervous at 30mph than at 130mph.

Then end result is a great series of photos'.

"Deceivingly fast" . . . . sure !

Thanks Mike,

I'm looking forward to longer straights than Autobahn has so I can wind the Holinger out!
