Al N. Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Check out the group photo over on killboy... http://bp3.blogger.com/_LxZ4Mi3rR3Q/RpSXOTew5VI/AAAAAAAACM0/0m8z3nemGF0/s1600-h/img_0562.jpg It's cool to see how wide some of the cars are (ahem, Mr. Ebrahimi) compared to a narrow one like mine. But I'm really writing with a question... WHO IS MISSING FROM THIS SHOT? I'm trying to get a count for the journalists and don't know if my papers reflect the count. I know of at least 7 cars NOT in this photo: • Fred Kitch's Lotus S2 • Dick Brink's "Wine Sizzler" Birkin • Mark Rivera's Silver/Black Locost Auto-Xer • Heikki R-K's Silver/Black Locost • Ed Hudson's Caterham SLR • David Seybold's Red/Black Stalker (auto x champ) • Walt Hoffman's Ali/Red Caterham If I'm wrong on any of these, or you know of more that were not there, please chime in here.

R1 Seven Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 I don't see Bob Drye's mega turbonium Locost either... Oh...and mine is wide in the hips, but slender in the middle...curvacious if you will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al N. Posted July 12, 2007 Author Share Posted July 12, 2007 Scott Nettleship's S4 is also missing. So that's 9 cars missing. And I can't tell if one of the cars is Burke Ulrey's Scratch-built....anyone? anyone? Bueller? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al N. Posted July 15, 2007 Author Share Posted July 15, 2007 I looked at other shots (from Tapoco) and from my recollections...AND I don't see: John Mott's Caterham Ed Hudson's Superlight (Dark Green & Carbon) Phil Anderson's Caterham (Yellow Painted) John Thomen's Caterham Don Freeman (Green & Yellow) That's 14 cars missing....which means that our total LSiS for the meet was 61!!!! Can people people confirm the names above? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al N. Posted July 18, 2007 Author Share Posted July 18, 2007 A preview of the Group Photo.. Thanks to the generosity of Darryl "Killboy" Cannon (who also donated his time to come out to take the shot and ride in the bucket truck), the Club received a high-rez file of the group photo. We will be circulating that through more secure means soon — FREE TO ALL ATTENDEES AND CLUB MEMBERS! That's right, you can get it printed anyway you like. The photo will be available in 4 forms: A) Cars only B) Cars only with tasteful commemorative border (1957-2007, USA7s at the Dragon, etc.) C) Cars and people D) Cars and people with tasteful commemorative border Until I get that border designed (and some retouching done) here's what the shots look like: http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/956632662_GROUPHIREZ.jpg http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/486980141_GROUPPEOPLEHIREZ.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
