Cool Re: Birth photos of Dovers Miles the Monster composite

The next photos are from after work. Kelly Farrell the one sculptor said to me, "Come here, follow me" and I told him that I didn't want get him/us in trouble with Dwight. He said to not worry about it, so I followed him and he took me in the back side of Miles the Monster!! Then he cleaned off a spot on one the steel beams, handed me a Sharpie and told me to sign it!! I officially was inside the monster, so this is a heads up on what the next photo you will be viewing. It is a picture from the inside of Miles the Monster!!

I don't guess that's a real car they're using? That would be an awful lot of weight for Miles to hold in one hand.

I thought it was a real car, but I think it is an exact replica, I will ask. Here is a link from this mornings local paper.

Thanks guys!!
I plan of telling Gary about GoTeamsGo, today there wasn't alot of time!! I didn't want to hold him up to much and I was only on my lunch break!! But, I really messed up when I left the house this morning, I didn't check to make sure I put the card back in the camera after making the disc for Gary, and I didn't have a card in the camera when I got to A.C.I. earlier today. Fortunately, we don't live that far away from there, but it sure did make for a very short time over lunch!! Don't worry, I made sure the card is back in the camera!! And there are new batteries in it!!

Re: Birth photos of Dovers Miles the Monster composite

rode by the track lastnight, the base is basically done.
has a bunch of square molded in I guess for the driver plaques for race winners.

I was surprised how I could ride right up to the walk through gates and over around the base, no barriers at all.

one odd thing.
right at the gate at ther start/finish line there were a stack of goodyear tires. maybe ten. some were marked GY wrenglers, while other were eagles. of couse they were used.


no I forgot myt camara
