Thanks. That 17 looked GOOD on TV Sunday, and even better on Kodak Wednesday.
That's the best one I have at the moment. Can't get the properties on some of them to come up for some reason. Will keep working on it and see if there are anymore good ones.
Thanks for the pics!
Good time shared by all I'm sure!
Wow! Great shots! Thanks!
There are a couple on the previous page too, just in case you missed them. ;)
S W E E T!!
Thanks, we had a blast!
WOW...How big of a loan did you take out. They look like great seats...
It was a hit, but have just about recovered since I got them last November. :)
Very good story about Jr and DJ........

Good article by Monte....

Somebody needs to get the video clip of their confrontation, put Tammy Wynette singing "Stand By Your Man" behind it and get it on the NextelVision video screens at the track by next weekend at Phoenix.
If Lunders had gone in swinging a tire iron, then NASCAR would have had to do something about it. But if you think that's the first time the significant others of two race car drivers have ever exchanged words about an on-track incident, you're not only very single you probably don't have sisters, either.
That goes on a lot back in the motor home lot, which is the drivers' little world that those of us in the media all sort of keep our noses out of because we know better than to get in those messes.
If a woman cares about her man enough to follow him all over the country staying in a motor home - and I don't care how nice that motor home is, it still ain't the Ritz-Carlton - you know she's going to be there for him when the chips are down.
Some race fans seem a little irked, for instance, by the fact that DeLana Harvick wears a fire suit and sits on top of her husband, Kevin's, pit box. Let me tell you this, if there's ever a fight around me in the pit area, you can bet your backside that I'll know which side DeLana's on before I declare my allegiance.
A few years back, I decided it'd be a good idea to write a column advising Darrell Waltrip that it was time for him to hang up his driving helmet. I meant him no ill will, honestly, I just thought he was tarnishing his reputation by continuing.
I later recanted that article when DW ran well in a car owned by Dale Earnhardt Inc. But on the morning it ran, we were at Darlington Raceway and there were actually people who had been tasked to make sure that I didn't accidentally cross paths with Darrell's wife, Stevie, that morning.
Stevie, you see, wanted to a piece of me for that column. And I have no doubt in my mind that if she'd gotten hold of me, it would not have been pretty.
Look, here's the deal. Men are, well, men are sorry. We are. We're just plain sorry. Whenever we see two women get a little bit crossways with each other, that "c-c-c-c-cat-fight!" blood starts pumping. Don't bother denying it.
To hear some people talk about what happened Sunday at Texas, you'd think one girl snatched up a handful of another's hair and drug her into one of those little plastic swimming pools filled with lime Jell-O. Actually, that very well might have happened somewhere in the campgrounds during the weekend.
But it did not happen in Kurt Busch's pit - no matter how many times you sorry men try to imagine it did.

Roush Racing sources told NASCAR.COM on Thursday that two of its Nextel Cup teams will have new crew chiefs at Phoenix next week.
Bob Osborne will assume crew chief duties for the No. 26 team and driver Jamie McMurray.
Osborne moves from the No. 99 car, where he helped Carl Edwards to a third-place finish in the point standings last year. Roush Racing's lead engineer, Wally Brown, will take over the No. 99 team. Brown also has been a crew chief in the Busch Series with Kevin Harvick Inc. "Bob Osborne and Wally Brown are both very talented engineers and crew chiefs," owner Jack Roush said in a statement. "Bob has certainly proven his ability to win and I have no doubt that Wally will do the same." Jimmy Fennig, who was the crew chief for McMurray, now will head Roush's Busch Series program. Fennig was the crew chief for Kurt Busch when he won the 2004 Nextel Cup championship.
Thanks for the link. I didn't know that.
CBS 6 has learned NASCAR driver Kyle Busch was pulled over Wednesday night in Henrico County for reckless driving. The incident happened around 10 o'clock at Laburnum and Route 60 in the East End.
Ironically, Busch just talked to the media Ruesday at RIR about NASCAR's new "Focus on Driving Campaign," which is aimed at limiting distractions for teens behind the wheel. Busch was in Richmond taking part in a nextel cup testing session this week.
Busch is just 20 years old himself and the defending Nextel Cup Rookie of the Year. Police won't go into specifics about the incident bu say that alcohol was not involved and there was no property damage. Busch is scheduled to appear in court on May 23rd.
