Las Vegas Motor Speedway Laps forCcharity Photos

Just heard from Art Greene at the photo company. Will paste his email here for information you might find useful:
I was just speaking with a woman with a red hard top.

You can enlarge the images by clicking on them. This will get rid of the thumbnail.

If I can take the order over the phone, I can offer a 20% discount on purchases of five images or more. I can’t offer too much of a bargain because 10% goes to charity.

Our site is now moving quickly, but we found a bug that bounces you around while browsing for photos. Please give us a day before making your selection.

Art,

Thanks for the reply and the extra effort. I am part of a car club SSR Fanatic (there were 20 of us on the track together) AND the 18 are all of the same car. If there is a way to work a deal for multiple within the club that would likely make for an even larger number. I would be happy to pass that along. I am not sure I want all 18 but that is because I cannot bring them to a size I can examine comfortably. Is there a way to look at them in magnified mode before purchase?

Thank you for supporting Speedway Childrens Charities.

The going rate for digital downloads is $25 each. But if you are looking to buy 18, I’ll happily offer a discount. Are the 18 images of the same car or are you part of a car club?

I’ll need a day to figure out how to give you a discount with your online purchase.

My Speedo shows 85 I was hoping to get the display on the GPS but it did not come out. I think that was the max for me.

[ssjeff]

I hit around 95 ,it was fun and scary,but i want to do it again!

[RUN ROD RUN]

Did they put a limit as to how fast you're allowed?

[Mr Duck]

I hung waaaaay back on the straight

took it outta OD to 3rd

then stood on the gas all the way into turn 1

and held it till clear outta turn two

first chance to look down at the speedo

105......

The charming Mrs Duck was screaming like a girl
(oh wait, she is a girl)

I scared the $hit outta her!

So, being the gentleman I am

next lap backed off again then got waaaay out by the wall and stood on it


just to see what that looks like

more screaming and threats of spousal violence


Three laps of this adolescence behavior


GAWD THAT WAS FUN!!!!!!

I hit 85 the banks were a blast go hi then head down low . Wife was sick so ill have to do it next year so she can see what it feels like . Again worth every penny and for a good cause .

I am not as nice as you folks. I had to be my recoard from times before. On
First round second lap 105 third lap 110+ and had to put on the brakes because
Bad Bob slowed down very fast. He had the pedal to the medal

Second time around was a blast and a half. Two SSR's let every body go ahead on
turn 0ne to turn three and I came out of turn two at 95+ and entered turn
three at 115++ but the 73 Chev El Camio was going to slow out of turn 4. The
Boss scremed that I was going to pass them. Good brakes and we did the same thing again on turn one. What a fantastic time and I have to say those Bridgestone tires are fantastic on turns and braking.

I do not know how to down load pictures (Dwight (BlueStreak) has copied pictures and will post for us the ones that The Boss took. You can see one on the straight away how much fun she was having.

At LVMS I had a blast. Husband was telling me not to wreck when coming into turn two. Coming out of turn two laid on the gas real hard.Was at 115 then had to hit brakes because I came up too fast on ICBlue in turn four almost passed him on straight near finish line. I looked at the pictures of us on the track they didn't get us too well. I think I was going too fast. Ha Ha. Had a blast almost turned around and did it again.

Yep the Chev was almost going the correct speed or slower. But we had fun fun fun. I almost wanted to pay for a third go around but long way home. Bumper to bumper trafic.

Had a real blast at the track. I found if you stay up by the wall on turn 2 and use gravity to help you shoot down for the back straight away you can come out of the turn at 85 to 90 and I hit 105 before I had to slow down so id did not have to pass the truck in front, very cool to do it again next year.
