Cool pics, but with a title like that i was expecting a whole lot more...

what a **** tease.

 

Great Pics

 

it took me like an hour to find the car
the computers at work are stuck on 800x600

 

^ hahah i know what you mean. but it didnt take me that long lol

 

for that size the pictures are very pixalated .. maybe the shots were ok but presentation blows

 

doesn't look very pro to me..but good pics anyway

 

I had to re-save the pics at the lowest quality to post them. the actual pics are good for poster size prints

 

I give props to you just for representing the shocker!

 

you guys follow VERY close thru the twisties! And there's NO way those are real - the Silver - the FASTEST Colour - would NOT be in the back!

:D

 

I would love to be able to drive that stretch. Good pics!

 

HELL YES! Man, I gotta get up there. How far away is it from Atlanta? I am a little north of ATL as well. WOW, I gotta check that out. And I actually laughed out loud when I saw you throwing up the shocker through the sunroof. BA man. How old are you?
Also, I went to Mapquest and there is no such town as Deals Gap in either NC or TN.

from holcomb bridge on 400, its right at 150 miles to the start of the dragon. depending on traffic, and how fast you drive, its about 2.5 hours to get there. i went on a wednesday last november. left at 8am, was on the dragon a little after 10:30am, ran up, stopped to take some pics, then back down, and on my way home again. got home a little after 2:30pm, and stopped and got gas near lake lanier. got 21mpg on the trip too.

if you google map (or mapquest) robbinsville, nc, the dragon is just north-east of there. its the really squiggly road that runs along chilhowee lake and calderwood lake, just past the TN/NC border on 129.

 

i hope you didnt pay this 'professional' all of these pictures are ever so slighly out of focus. I mean they are cool pictures, but it looks more like someone was sitting on the side of the road taking pictures of people.

 

Thanks for ya'lls help! I will have to check it out sometime.

 

well the pics are nice but professional quality/quanity i think not!?

 

He tried resizing/downsizing the pics WITHOUT making the pic's resolution smaller. That was the horrible result, lol.

Nice pics though, at least use paint to stretch/skew them next time without losing much of the quality.

 

I think that vati would agree with me.......the shinka is in the lead for a very good reason:

 

To answer some questions....
1. I'm 22
2. I have no idea how to make pics smaller, I did my best. the real pics I have are amazing.lol
3. Killboy sat in the rain starting at about 8:00 AM till about 6:00 PM taking pics of all the RX's at the event(about 150 cars) And only charging $5 a pic. I give this man all the credit I can.

 

Nice pics street!

That was me in the back with the silver.

 

WTF?!



















... haha, resized huge pics.

 

Well I guess black is the fastest color now.. Also, those pictures are quite ok for the lighting condition. Although I probably would of sacrificed even more aperture to get a crisper focus.

 

no, all this proves is that black is driving like a granny, slowing down everyone else.

 

I believe its black cherry!!
