Thanks for those film clips... They are really good, and I liked the contour web hosting site.
I think you have some good cameras there, but still like that helmet view in Fillipones clip.
Your microphone is almost as good to. What camera model was in Bill's Chevy II?
Also, we missed having you guys at Cordova!
Maybe a 283 Nationals needs to happen!

The highlights of this race...
---Watching the TJ Diekema and Logan Wernet's, 1962 Fury entry win stock.
This was TJ's first time win, for the always fun loving family.
--Watching Tim Nicholson wheel the Cassil Chevy II, and almost run a first 9 second ET, with the 283 4 speed setup.
--Looking at Doug Engels car in person, its the ex Warter Joint venture car.
--Watching the 4 A/FD's from the starting line.
--Watching O'Malley out laugh the Nebraska and Kansas boys.
--Enjoying the cool weather, and having friends in town for the event.
--Seeing a really good grouping of hot rods for a decent ticket price.
--Team Skillman was very impressive, and I liked the supercharged cars...
But I think the new mustangs belong in an Outlaw SS class. Come on man, these cars are as expensive as 10 wide and Outlaw nitrous format cars. They make everyone else look like the Flintstones!

The race was all done before 10PM, and had few accidents and oildowns.
A very smooth event, and perfect weather.

It was great to see Greg and Andrew Hill make the drive up and put a nice show on for everyone, also the many cars that came from the far west of D5. Great weather and racing just goes together.

I looked at Hopkins Dart. That car is a work of art.

Brad got the contour camera right from P.C. Richards website i pasted the link at the bottom. Top one is for the camera and bottom is for the roll bar mount. It also comes with a couple mounts. We ended up going to IHRA's race at 131, its hard not to go when it is only 40 mins from home brad posted a few videos from our weekend there.

It looked great from the stands, I spent so much time shooting that I didn't get as much "pit time" as I wanted. I had about 160 shots, digital and film. First time I had ever been to Cordova, enjoyed myself completly. It also helped that my friend won in Comp.

Were you the guy sitting right behind me at the west end of the stands? I was the guy in the Led Zepplin shirt taking pictures of the first round of Stock.

I could have been. I was in the west stand that was straight with the track, I took some of the others from that angled stand later, and grabbed a few from that little platform by the tower. I shot one "roll" with my old film camera because I still have a 300mm. I had to go down a ways for that. I should have gone to the other side for better color, sun was not helping when shooting from the north. Even my programs didn't help cleaning up the pics.

I was in a plain blue tank and shorts.
