Default puzzle / John Force's Corvette

every week, the puzzle changes, but this week it is John Force's '78 'Wendy's' Corvette Funny Car

http://www.nhra.com/2008/gallery/pow/

maybe somebody smarter than I can save this particular puzzle and provide a link to it?

Every week, a different photo becomes the 'Picture of the Week', and that new picture becomes the puzzle for that week:
last week it was Al Hanna's Mustang F/C as the puzzle.

I just thought it'd be cool if somebody with more computer-knowledge than I could 'save' Force's Corvette in puzzle-format for future useage to C3-owners.
