Carlisle photos

Everyone don't forget the Carlisle photo contest. If you're not entering the contest and have photos from the event I would appreciate if you could send them to me so I can use them in our article. Thanks. ECB

These are some pretty good ones:

JayNiz took them. I am sure he would email some for the article if you PM hime over there on Spyderclub, Bruce. Thanks for all of you and Norma's hard work.

Danny P. - Awesome pics! I think I'm getting Sypder fever!

Refresh my memory on the contest?
I did say I wasn't going to enter it, right? ;)

Those are some really nice pictures. For some reason I just didn't feel like shlepping the camera around much this year. I have about 150 pictures of bunches of cars, but nothing spectacular. What the heck, I'll send a CD anyway.

No Porta Potty or Pepsi machines in this field.

Cory,

You said you weren't going to enter the contest but I think you should anyway. No reason to stay out.

All,

Keep sending your photos to me. But if you are entering the photo contest, please indicate "Photo Contest" as the subject of your email and tell me in your email that you are entering so I don't think you are just sending me photos as potentials for the article.

Do you want a CD so that you can pick, or would you rather have them sorted? I have about 150, mostly group car shots. Quite a few are non-Speedster shots of the other cars at the show. If you want the CD, email me your snail-mail address.

I'll caption these when I get a chance.
For iPhone users, e-mail photos to yourselves with the medium setting, and they seem to post just fine without pixelation here.

Enjoy:

Love the "Aden" picture.

Hey, Cory

No Rainbow all the way across the sky?

I bet that "Aden" will be a future Speedter owner/driver......

Cool pics, Cory! Thanks for sharing.

Lane,

I need to get the article out tomorrow so can

Roger that.

Love the "Aden" picture....needs to be one of the calendar pics !

Max & Bruce have mine.

I liked the Aden shot best of all, too. That happened at Gettysburg, as a tour bus was unloading. The kid's dad said something encouraging to young Aden, and Kelly parked him in the car. That look on his face is pretty much how I feel every time I push the button to start the car.

How about some more pictures?
There had to be a dozen cameras out there!

Thanx to Max I wasn't the least bit thirsty!

I got a ride in the Beck 904 with Carey on Sunday, just before it went onto the trailer. I really liked the ride, but it's clearly a track car. I could feel the concrete slabs and bricks, blades of grass and motes of dust in the road as we drove slowly through Carlisle, observing the posted speed limits.
Something about that car made my neck and ears hurt, but I'm not sure what, exactly. Shifting gears as slowly as he did, I'm sure Carey's driving had nothing to do with it. He should be a policeman, he's so careful.
A decent shot of it from right before the group photo might be one of my favorites from the weekend.

I also asked Stacey to hang out on top of the big hill for a minute, while I put his car between me and the approaching storm clouds. I like that picture a lot, too.

If anyone is interested in a higher resoution version of this with all the crap photoshopped out let me know. 300 dpi @ 15" wide.

REMINDER - Only FIVE days remain to the deadline for the Carlisle photo contest! Here are the details:

Speedsters Meet Spyders at Carlisle Photo Contest

Rich, I'd love a copy of that.

yup me too ~

What did that black JPS coupe sell for at the show, anyone know?

It's dark blue. I'm sure Chuck the owner, will chime in here.

I imagine he'd prefer to do that privately. The car was actually "Bali blue" and very sweet looking.

Looked black in the photo I saw, but dark blue is nice too. There is pricing on their web site, I was just wondering if there was a 'show special' price......

Bruce, got a contest winners' list together yet, by any chance?

No list yet, expect something by June 30th.

Not sure about the "bali blue" color call. This '65 356 SC is purportedly painted that color and it looks much lighter than John's coupe.

WAS IT THIS ONE

Looks like it to me.

Yeah, that is it. It is "Bali Blue" which was not a standard color for 1957, it was a special color for 1962 - 1963 color code #6212. We purchased it from John at the show who bought it back from the original owner who only placed 700 miles on it. My wife is enjoying it greatly and it does not faze her that it is not a 1957 color. She won a second place at "Bug out 69" with it as previously posted.

It makes a great garage mate to my VS Speedster and 1968 Porsche 912.
