We lost a great guy and great driver yesterday at las Vegas, over the years of going to the Indy 500 I had gotten to know Dan and Susie and all my sympathy goes out to Susie and all of Dan’s family. I have so many fond memories of Dan–his warm personality and ready smile made him a fan favorite, and going to Indy will never be the same. R.I.P. Dan.
I wanted to give everyone an update on why I’ve missed some of the races this season–I got a bad infection in my right leg that has turned out to be more serious than I thought. The Dr. gave me several kinds of oral antibiotics that didn’t do much good. Now I’m in the middle of going to the hospital every day for 10 days and getting a series of IV treatments. I will miss the race on the 18th, but hope to be at the one after that. I really look forward to being back.
I’ve spent May 16th thru May 23 in Indianapolis for the practices and qualifying for the Indy 500–and will return next Saturday to be there for the race on Sunday, May 30th. The speeds are awesome, 228+ for Helio Castroneves for the pole down to 223+ for the 33rd qualifyer. I hate missing two Knoxville weekends and will post some of the photos I took on May 15th at Knoxville and photos I took at Indy in the next few days.
Last update-5/11/10
I’ve posted some photos from the second night of racing on May 8, 2010.
Congradulations to Brian Brown and Dustin Selvage for their A-main wins and great racing.
Just a note about the site, the thumbnails are low resolution and sometimes look like they’re not properly exposed–the photos you receive are high resolution , properly exposed and printed on professional photo paper, your satisfaction is always gauranteed.
To see a little larger image double-click the thumbnail, hope you enjoy the site and the photos, thanks for looking.
Although it was a cool night it was good to get back to the track for a new season, to find out how everyone faired through a bad winter, and to see the cars, some new with great new paint schemes, and some old standbys.
Congradulations to Don Droud Jr. for winning the 410 Main and to Josh Higday for the 360s, and Steve Breazeale in the 305s.
I have posted some photos from May 1, 2010 they can be seen by selecting “Newly Listed” or “Winged Sprint Cars”.
The new site is still a “work in progress” Hope you enjoy it, and feel free to leave comments, I will be updating the content of the different catagories in the coming weeks.
