All I do is point, shoot, crop and edit.
I have the photos, just need to figure out where to house them. Looks like 6mb files.

Put them on dropbox or google drive, and I'll upload them to my Flickr account. Flickr won't degrade the quality, and I have a Pro account with plenty of storage.

Do this. And people, don't be posting 6mb image files to the thread. Just... don't. Post URL links to the pictures. I'll download them, resize, crop, and repost.

It sucks that I couldn't have made it to the meet with my car but the new trans, new power steering pump including synthetic oil change (the only thing I paid for) fixing windshield cowl noise and new exhaust gaskets are all making up(especially the first one) for not having it on saturday. Now it is fun and games while enjoying smoothly shifting (or down-shifting) gears ahhh feels good to have her back after nearly a week!!!

Next meet up I am even willing to drive down as far as the tail of the dragon

If he just zips them all together, hosts that zip file somewhere, I'll download and upload to Flickr and post a like to the photo set.

We should do a Tale of the Dragon meet - that would be fun!

Saw a documentary on TOTD. It's a pretty busy stretch of road, with cops everywhere. I've never been there myself, but I suspect it's no longer what it used to be... traffic, speed limits, cops.

The hills of PA were somewhat challenging getting to the meet. That's for sure!

I wonder if those links,would serve as a direct link here? I pushed them all onto Dropbox. He sent a 4x6 and 8x10 of each shot.

The ToTD is definitely more heavily patrolled now. Seems like a bunch of people wind up off-road every year. IIRC the mini run was last week or this week, sounds like there is a run for ZDAYZ as well. A buddy of mine did it on his bike last year or the year before, sounds like it could be a good time with the right crew driving.

I gotta say, those coupe wheels on those sedans look even better in person. Makes me think my wheel choice might have been different if i had seen them first.

I had thought about renting a few GoPros last summer to record the drive through TOTD but I read somewhere that it's over populated with bikes, and I decided against it. I still haven't done it but if we got a group together I would definitely be willing to do it. Hell. I had enough fun this weekend that I have no problem doing the 11 hour drive again in a few months.

Skyline drive in VA is also a great drive. I'm working on getting all the pics Chris sent me on Dropbox. I'll post a link to the set when I'm all finished.

I've added the pics Chris provided with a few that I took and uploaded. The pics from Chris should be the first 4 pictures (the higher resolution photos).
