I just submitted a very detailed and very comprehensive Article with 20 Photos and Photo Caption Sheet to Jim Mazzola, Editor of WW for inclusion of Article in the Nov. WW. Hopefully, must, if not all, Photos can make it into the Mag. I also am creating a Photo CD of 100-200 Photos of the Event. This will take some time as I am cross-refencing every Photo with every Party that was on the Sign-up Sheets that I created for the two-day Event.

Photos will also include Corral Shots, Group Racing shots, Pit Area Photos with some Racers and their Cars, Skydivers and Tent area views, etc. Eventually, this CD will be given to the Board for someone to upload all these Photos to the PCA-SDR Web site or where members will have access to view through the Forum, i.e. member(s) individual Photo Pic Sites, such as Greg Phillips uses. :beerchug:

Thanks Mike, from turn 4 you looked like you were having a ball with the RSR.

Here's one last shot, this one of PCA'er Kaid's brother in his MG.

Rich very nice article! :D
You covered many of the non racing events that make the Fleet Week Race on the Base weekend extra special. 8)
