    Mass Photo From The Proving Grounds Tour

    Here's the mass photo of the 100 Corvettes that participated in the GM Proving Grounds Tour at the Motor City Regional on Sunday; taken from an overpass above the banked 5-mile circular track, with C1's in front, then C2's, C3's, etc. It was a great day!

      John,
      Yes it was a great day, did you take this photo or was this from the pro photographer?

          The photographer took this one. I re-sized it WAY down - the original image is about 4MB.

                  At the higher resolution I might even be able to see my car.

                    I know the feeling.

                    Art was going to put me in the front row of the picture because a trip to the Proving Grounds was my idea in the beginning (think back to February 2005 when Richard and I hatched the Regional idea). GM decided to arrange the cars differently, so I'm in the back row next to you.

                    Maybe we had more fun in the back. It's where I used to sit in class in college.

                        Bet it feels good to have the word "retired" there!

                              How do we get copies? I'd like to get the HQ big MB version. What about the others?

                              I have the last batch of photos that I shot ready to upload. These are from the Rock Financial Showplace. I should have mentioned (and will when I update), if anyone wants copies of any that I shot from any other the three sets, just let me know. These are also very large files (3-5mb). I can downsize if requested. Details in my next update.

                              It was a great day.
