camel, I enjoyed your photos. Nice Mermaid and beautiful trails. I'm jealous.
Hope you don't mind but I snooped through all your photos and came across a couple surprises...
First, do you build the skateboard racks for Stoked? I've been considering buying one. I especially liked your wall leaning rack. How can I get some more info on it?
Second, are you an ALMS fan? Did you go to Petit this year? Wild race. I'm preparing for my annual pilgrimage to Laguna Seca next weekend and can hardly sit still...
Thanks for posting those.
-Alan |

Thanks for the compliments.
Yes, I build the racks for Stoked. David has become a buddy of mine. Great guy, heck of a businessman. I can do just about any rack that you can think up. Those are the 2 basic designs. They are solid and work well for a reasonable price.
They started as an idea here: http://www.silverfishlongboarding...erested-custom-racks-storage.html
Lots of info in that thread.
Love ALMS. I photographed for ADVAN/Yokohama Motorsports last year at Petit. I did not make it this year due to an addition I was having done to my wife....hehe I was out at a DE at Road Atlanta a couple of weekends ago. 135mph down the back straight is intense to say the least.

Now that must be cool to drive on a real track. What did they have you in? Panoz? (what's the plural of Panoz...Panoi???) I've driven the shorter track at Willow Springs out here in CA but the straight is too short to make it to any serious speed unless you've got major HP.

It was a BMW event, yet I was in a 911 and a 350z. Very much faster than any of the BMW's out there. |

| No doubt. It will be interesting to see how BMW does in the ALMS next year. GT2 should be a hoot! |

Just root for Porsche, Penske or the Flying Lizards and you won't need the leader lights

They do sound like something from another world as they wooosh by. I think one of the best things Audi has going for itself is Alan McNish. He's an amazing driver and proves it over and over.
