Al N. Posted July 11, 2007 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 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.
R1 Seven Posted July 12, 2007 Posted July 12, 2007 organic racing car is absent Look in the upper left...next to the red car...
Al N. Posted July 12, 2007 Author 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?
Keith Posted July 12, 2007 Posted July 12, 2007 Mine's not there either, but I guess maybe that's not a big surprise... :lol:
olymar7 Posted July 12, 2007 Posted July 12, 2007 Hey! thats me in the third row back, 6h from left, black with red interior. Burke
WestTexasS2K Posted July 12, 2007 Posted July 12, 2007 man i am going have to paint that car a brighter color or get my eyes checked. It blended right in with the grass.
Al N. Posted July 15, 2007 Author 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?
Al N. Posted July 18, 2007 Author 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
11Budlite Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 Great job Al, and thanks Killboy!! :hurray: I hope the "retouching" includes the removal of that wannabe MINI??? Bruce
Donnie Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 I'm also missing, Al. Didn't trust my tires in the rain. Got within 2 miles of the photo site and saw cars coming at me. Don Freeman

Al N. Posted August 8, 2007 Author Posted August 8, 2007 This second round does not have Steve T.'s final blessing yet, but I'm going to be out celebrating Ava's bday tomorrow and wanted to put it out there. All comments welcome...note that the unretouched photos will be made available...and there will be a version with people in it.

MHKflyer52 Posted August 9, 2007 Posted August 9, 2007 Al, Now that is one nice looking group of 7's and boarder edging. Might you also make a shadow outline of the cars with a number on each that collates to the owners name, make an year

MichaelD Posted August 13, 2007 Posted August 13, 2007 Looks great. The addition of the LOTUS green and yellow grass is a nice touch. Thanks again, Michael
