Katrina and I noticed very similar things when we were "flying low" through some of the small towns. The looks on peoples faces was a site to remember. I can only imagine what I would do if I woke up early and saw such a site fly by our home! It will be a lifetime memory. Carl, You are right.

Unfortunately, I didn't get my camera out in time to get the shot, either. On Saturday, as we were all caravanning to the track in Talladega from our hotels in Alexander City (a distance of about 70 miles) on those quiet county roads, I was just far enough back in the caravan to see some truly amazing sights - I'm talking about the bewildered looks on the faces of some locals as we went by at significantly more than parade speeds. Just imagine living on a quiet back road, only to have about 150 roaring, snarling muscle cars go driving by. Not just any muscle cars, but, Charger 500s, Talladegas, Spoiler IIs, Daytonas, and Superbirds! (And Lloyd Heintz following along in his white pimpmobile...) One guy stepped out onto the front porch of his trailer (shortly after daylight) as we all drove by. What a sight for each of us. This guy was staring at what must certainly have been one of the greatest car shows on wheels to ever pass by his home, and we were staring at a wide-eyed, rudely awakened local guy, standing on his front porch in his underwear with his mouth open, his eyes wide, and totally glazed over with amazement. (I won't repeat what the backseat passengers in my Talladega said about the event, but they were too taken by the moment to capture it with a photo.) Thanks for a great website and some great photos, even if you did miss the best one on Saturday morning. Carl Sharp Liberty, IN Richard,
