Ray,
That can't be a real Enzo under the skin can it? Naa can't be.
Cool car and picture though!!
Tuesday morning at 1:00 am as I drove by the salt flats I waved at ya, did you
see me?
The place sure looked dark, was anyone out there on Monday Night/Tuesay early
am?
Dr. Z.
No I didn't stop at the falls, I didn't even know about them. I was too focused
on cars, cars, cars, beaches, and cars. Maybe next time by.

Nice pics of the G-daughter, she is very photogenic! Good shots!!

I'm still on the salt. Be back tomorrow at Miller's...if I survive.
I have a buncha stories, but they're for later. In the mean time, here's a
shot of the Ferrari Enzo that's been running here.

Glad that you made it back safe and sound. I am so, so jealous. I want to go
so bad at least once in my life time.
Let me give you a critic of what you could have done to make the photo better.

Well I think that just about sums it up. Great shot. I guess that leaves on
me as the only one dimensional photog. If it ain't related to cars I don't
shoot it.

Hey Rat Packers
I made it back from Monterey (and San Fran, Pismo Beach, and that 8 hour
stretch of nothingness from Reno to SLC).
It was a fantastic event. Soooo many interesting cars. I camped in a tent
right at the track above turn 10, just a couple of hundred yard from the cork
screw turn. I even stayed and extra day since a group of Ferrari owners had
rented the track for the next day, and I got to shoot Ferrari F40's, F430's,
550 Marinello's, 360's, 355's, and even an Enzo running around the track. OK
so they were going kinda slow in the morning as they orientated, but they
still looked marvelous.
But to the point, Dr. Z has been telling me that I need to broaden or stretch
my photographic horizons (or my lens as the case may be), and shoot something
other than cars (Blasphemy!!!!!). Well I do love the ocean, and I was in
Monterey, so I gave it a shot. I think I actually enjoyed it (I did miss the
smell of 110 Octaine while I was shooting the scenery though).
I took the attached shot in Santa Cruz at the amusement park one night. I
liked it, but my wife kinda just went ho - hum over it, so let me know what
you think. I didn't have a tripod or mono pod, so I just set the camera on the
railing of the pier, and put an empty, partially deflated pop bottle under
lens to keep it level.
I shot a bunch of other scenery stuff on the way down highway 1 to Pismo, but
I haven't looked at em yet, tooooooo busy. If there is anything there that
doesn't completely embarrass me, I'll share it later, oh and if any of the car
shots turn out too.
I highly recommend you attend the Monterey Motor Sports Reunion if you can.
The hotels were too pricey for me, but camping worked out really well, other
than I had to run my Truck for two hours to charge camera batteries and
offload pics form the memory cards every night, oh and it was cold and foggy
at night. Still my neighbors were nice (one of them was actually one of the
designers/engineer on the Nissan GTP car that dominated IMSA right before the
Gurney Toyota's dominated it)(very very interesting stories he told). Most
people even went to bed at 10:00pm. I even got to talk with Dario Franchitti
who was there doing a demo run in a Mazarati Bridcage sports car. Nice man Mr.
Franchitti. Did not see his wife, Ashely Judd though. You should have seen me
on the first day. I must have looked like a kid in a candy store. Oh and they
had a Bugatti Grand Prix car group. 35 of those Bugatti type 59 little blue
1930's cars running around. Wow!
I post a bunch of stuff on my website in a while. I am now in the throws of
coaching two soccer teams, and trying to explain off sides to 10 year olds
(can someone explain it to me first)
See Ya Later
