In photobucket all you have to do is copy the (img) link, If you put your pointer over the picture you should see a number of links, Just copy the img link and paste it in your post, That is all it takes.

Too bad you were limited to 35 mph, but still, had to be a fun day at the track.

From what little information that was on the car, It started life as a 2002 Vette, It had a custom name on it , but I don't remember what it was, however thay had a price tag of $64,000. I liked the front and sides but I liked the origanal rear better thean what they put on it. The interior appears to be stock.

They started lining the cars up this afternoon to go out on the track about 1pm We got started on to the track about 2pm. They were making anouncements all day that if you went over 35 mph. you would be banished from the track, never more to be seen. and to slow to 5 mph at the start/finish line for them to take your picture, The fastest I got all away around was 23 mph. but it was a lot of fun and I will have a picture of the car crossing the finish line at DIS and a certificate Pictures to follow of todays parade.

Here are the pictures of our lap around the track. The guy in front of me on the bike was having a hard time keeping it on the 18 degree bank of the tri oval going as slow as we were. I pulled as close to the wall as I could in the tri oval.

The only guy I see is standing behind a barracade with a trailer and scoreboard behind him. He is just a spectator, taking pictures of the cars on the track. There were people mostly standing at the entrance to the pits taking pictures, and track workers scattered around.
