No Chevy II this year. Speaking of photos, I wonder if they'll have the same photography outfit in victory lane as in past years. I also look forward to your gems. 
Also, I hope Jeff Williams' wife will again sing the national anthem...her voice is absolutely incredible. With her blessings, that belongs on youtube.

One reason I like running mid pack is I like being sandwiched with other Corvettes on the track. I run 2 gopro video cameras, one front facing out the windshield, and one rear facing that is suction mounted on the outside rear window. In years past I have been fortune enough to run both directly in front of Soslow1 Tim, as well as directly behind him. He runs 3 gopros and his when he finishes editing his videos, it is both humbling and impressive to see the final product on youtube.
Plus, running mid pack should afford you an extra 5 mph down the backstretch over others....

In addition to the awesome track video, this lineup will make for some great photos on pit road also. Two years ago I was behind a 67 Chevelle...but this is better! The C3 is a true Icon. Woohoo

What a beautiful picture.
Can't wait for a side by side comparison of your Bryar blue next to my Laguna blue. A 44 year difference in age but they look very close!

In watching the NASCAR cup race yesterday, I see that the scheduled last lap crash (grin) happened right in the middle of the tri-oval where we get our picture taken. Worlds fastest junkyard LOL
It now looks like this;
THIS IS TALLADEGA
Start at :53 seconds through 1:03.
