Hi all,

I finished uploading photos from the 2006 Motorsport Auto Nationals. I have set up three categories that can be seen at the link below. During the show, I spent time taking photos of people as they drove into the line-up. I also walked around the show taking many photos of the various classics.

I apologize if I didn't take a lot of close-ups and details, but, my camera ran out after 4+ hours of continuous use. I also didn't have any sunscreen, so, it was a good day to BURN.

If you also have photos of the show, please feel free to upload them into the gallery. We could use some additional details of engines, bodywork, suspensions, interior, etc. This is one of our best photo opportunities because of all the different cars in one place.

And, if you have a bunch of photos and you don't want to upload all of them, please send me a PM (or use the feedback option from the main menu) and I can give you my address. You can then send me a CD and I'll upload them.

Anyway, the show was GREAT! Sunny, warm, and it was a record-breaking event. Although I don't have a complete list of the winners, I do know that one of our own members, Bob Coleman, won the Stock 240z class. I managed to get him to pose next to his car at the end of the show. Check the gallery to see picts.

If anyone has the final standings (I can't find them at the MSA website), please reply to this email and let all of us know who won!

My thanks for your hard work - you got one shot of me near the end of the staging line, just before pulling out onto Collins, and another shot of my engine bay.

LOTS of nice Z-Cars there ...

Just got done looking at all your photos Mike. Sure looked like a blast. Wished me and my Z could have been there.

Here is mine in my driveway

Hey nice job on the photos! I wish I could have been there. And I would have if it hadn't been for all the damn rain we got this year. :mad:

Mike, it was nice meeting you at the event! Nice photos, but I think you are definitely missing one - I thought for sure you would have caught a picture of the model working the Vertical Door booth!!

It was a great show, awesome cars and nice Z'ers.

Oh yes, I saw her. There were a few lookers at the show. Did anyone manage to obtain photos ? Please share!
