Re: Birth photos of Dovers Miles the Monster composite

Those eyes look awesome in person! I rode by yesterday, but we were having some pretty good downpours most of the day!

I guess I won't bother now! Thanks for the pics, and I'm looking forward to Wednesday!

See ya there!

Those eyes are awesome!!!! Miles the Monsters eyes are special to me, because I was the person to make the paint for ACI composites!!

I wish!!!! I'll be at work, checking in with the live feed camera, if it is still turned on. It has been totally awesome to watch them in Dover reassembling Miles the Monster!! Much thanks to Joe at the track and DelDot!!

My plan is still to arrive May 31st and kill several birds with one stone!!
1.See Miles at his new home in Dover.
2.Bobby Allison - even if I only get to see him.
3.Race weekend atmosphere.

Will you be there May 31st? If so, maybe we can meet up at the Monster?!?

Re: Birth photos of Dovers Miles the Monster composite

I'm going to be there Saturday and Sunday! Send me a PM, and I'll send my cell number. I'll find you! I have one guy that hangs with us that can be quite the drinken fool, and I don't want to subject you to that.

Hell, I don't always like subjecting myself to that!

Cool Re: Birth photos of Dovers Miles the Monster composite

Tomorrow is the unveiling!!!! Maybe Joe will provide us with some more photos of Miles the Monster, maybe even an evening one with his eyes lit!!

Anyway, in the mean time, I couldn't help myself and I wrote a "poem". Trust me, I know I'm no poet, but I gave it a try anyway, I thought I'd share it with everybody. Feel free to tell me just how bad it is!!

In Lancaster county born and raised
By a company named ACI composites
As I watched them build, I was truly amazed
At the massive monster that will reside outside of Dovers pits

Formed from many piles
Of rods, wire, foam and fiberglass
Sculpted into a monster named Miles
With style and a touch of class

Wearing a nasty snarl and menacing red eyes
This concrete man
Appears to reach to the skies
With car in hand

Sitting in his own victory lane
Atop a 7 1/2 foot pedestal
We'll never hear him complain
Because he is just entirely to cool!!!!

Re: Birth photos of Dovers Miles the Monster composite

I've got the camera ready. I have some pics I haven't downloaded yet, but I'm going to wait until the ceremony tomorrow.

I'm also going to ride by there tonight. I'm hoping the car is up there!

Re: Birth photos of Dovers Miles the Monster composite

WOW!... thats the first time I have seen the car in hand ... I missed seeing it the day they did a trial fitting in Lancaster... got there just a little to late!!
It's amazing to see just how small the car looks in comparison to Miles. It really gives it more perspective...Totally awesome!!

Pss.... cheer up doll... I know how it feels after you give birth... the letdown can be depressing ...there will be other projects

I'm also stuck at work!!!!!! Luckily, I have a cool boss who hasn't had a problem with me bringing up the live feed link when we aren't busy. He also thinks that Miles the Monster is pretty cool!!!! I was watching throughout the dedication, certainly not the same as being there, but at least that was available to view. Phils should possibly have some photos for us later!!!!!

Who else is going to go to Dover for the race or just to see Miles?
