More....please dont confuse my poor pics with the quality presented by DrewShoots...

This is the dissapointemt of our weekend. We were hoping for 200 MPH from this Vette, but it was not meant to be (this time). She'll be back out there next time bigger and better.

Lots of nice pics. Very clean 69' Damn is all you can say about the blue vette. I can only hope that I can make it to the next one.

sweet pics

Geeze seeing those pics of those cars, I didnt see almost ANY of those there! I got there WAY too late! Wish I wouldve gotten to see a few ZR1s run, when I got there the black ZR1 with the Turbo tag was leaving along with the 2 Ferrari Scuderias

Woo hoo... look at me go. I look like a real racer..... Vroooom :-)

Thanks for the images!

Sweeeeet Pics! What An Awesome Day!

Congrats to all who took that Mile Ride! :secret2:

There was alot of money out there that day it looks like. Maybe one day when work picks up again I can go play.

waht type of camera was used for the drewshots? im guessing nikon d90?

Very nice shots by all.
Looks like a must do event.
marriard was your windows down on that run?

matt427, nikon D40

REALLY? THAT LOOKS AMAZING FOR D40? were these photoshopped?

How does something look awesome for a certain camera? I guarantee that if two identical shots were taken with each camera you wouldnt be able to tell the difference without a 100% crop and even then it would prob be difficult.

Sorry about the rant.

Great pics btw. Ya really got a good representation of the cars attending.

Very nice pictures everyone. What was up with the Zr1 with the turbo tag? I wasn't ware that there were any turbo Zr1s out there.

Were any of those Zr1s stock? I'd like to see what they did in comparison to the silver procharged c6.

Well said, and thanks!

I was thinking it could be a tag from a previous car he had, perhaps a turbo'd C6.

I had a circular polarizing filter on my lens all day providing me with rich, bright blue skies. Also using off-camera flash for many of the shots.

I shoot in RAW and I use photoshop, yes. : )

Those are some really nice photos. It looks like there was a bunch of big buck rides out there. I also didn't know that you could make those kind of spread sheets with google.

Well said, and thanks!

No problem. I wish we had events like that here in VA. If we do I have never heard of them.

Im a photographer as well and comments like those bother the hell outta me

Im a photographer as well and comments like those bother the hell outta meFunny thing is, apparently there has been another group holding 'private' events out here for some time now (mostly exotics), so it is entirely possible that it is happening right in your backyard, and you dont even know it.

One of my buddies here has built his car with goal #1 of being a monster in the standing mile, and the biggest drawback was that he figured he would have to trailer it to Texas and NC just to run it....until now. To say he is thrilled with this event is an understatement.:devil:

Haha its amazing what you can get together with a bunch of people with money :D

The main reason I down it is there arent any smaller/private airstrips around. Just Dulles really and there is no way they have any downtime for some fun.

There are some strips out in Fredricksburg and down in southwest that I know of but I never checked in with them for something like this. I was considering a photoshoot at the one near Radford though. They would probably be chill enough to let me out there with some cars and the camera gear.

What kind of car is your buddy gonna run?

I've lived in South Fl. all my life, and never knew that Dade-Collier training strip was there. I have gone down 41 a bunch of times, and never realized it. Then again you wont unless you know its there, or are told its there. Good to know that i live about 30 minutes fromt there.

You are not alone, and even when looking for it, it can be missed due to a very minimal sign.
