Great pics Angela. thanks a bunch for sharing some of them from Martin. It is nice to get a glimpse of what is going on there for those of us that actually couldn't make it to the race. Seeing the different cars from that area and what the track looks like makes me want to put it on my schedule for next year. Keep it up!

Angela --- Who's in the black 61 Bel Air bubble top ? What a great looking stocker - never saw it before....

Angela,

Great pictures, you are a natural... Good luck to you and Scott, keep the pictures coming,
its greatly appreciated by all the racers... See you at the races.. Dave,

Jack, leave it to you to pick-out that real sleeper......... That's really a neat car...

Angela Macy · 08-05-2008, 09:27 AM

Jack - DRC tells me its Gerry Gostenik from Dearborn MI, '61 Bel Air. I noticed the car too - reminds me of my Dad's 62 Impala, don't see a lot of either of those body styles in class racing or bracket racing for that matter either.

Chris - definately put it on your schedule if you can!

Great pictures as always. We always look forward to seeing them!

Angela, your photos are really great! Especially considering that you would be termed an amateur, not a pro photographer.(I'm assuming you haven't worked as a professional). I prefer your shots over the so-called pros. Two reasons; we get to see cars that are not usually on the 'pro' sites, and you actually capture the racecar's image. Not the same-old, same-old frontal wheelstand shots showing a nice unobstucted view of the lower control arms, oil pan, header collectors, and front valance panel. Keep 'em coming, please.

Around '64 I bought a '61 Belair bubbletop just like the one above, black w/ white stripe. It had a blue interior instead of red. 348/305HP(juice lifters) stick car. I was just embarking on the long road of throwing every disposable nickle at cars and drag racing. But, then came that brief letter from Uncle Sam that starts with 'greetings'. Sigh; just wish there had been more of those 'nickles' over the years.

Thanks Angela for posting the pictures. It is great to see Stock and Super Stock cars. The body styles and paint jobs make it a car show! You do a great job of showing us (who stay home) what we missed! Keep the camera snapping.

Angela, absolutely stunning photos!

Professionals in the photo business (I'm assuming you are not.) should take lessons from you.

Angela - wish we could have met you - our Lucy too! But you folks were busy with the Mosier race, and I was busy actually going some rounds this weekend. Maybe next time you get up this way! Great pictures!!!!
