TALLADEGA '09 THREAD

[nitrometal]

Question about photos....did anyone take photos of the Halloween costumes?  My wife wants to see how the Petty racing uniform that she made for me came out.  I stupidly didn't have someone use my camera to snap a shot although I know that I posed for several other people.  I'll post this in the other Talladega threads to see if anyone has one.

You could always put it back on and have her take a pic for us all to see....

Actually, I wore it at the Talladega Museum the next day when it was cold & raining and found out the hard way some of those patches she made for the uniform weren't colorfast.  That was a shame because I thought they looked great.  If someone has a shot I'll post it up here.  What was amazing was Tim Wellborn's museum had some real vintage uniforms on display and it looked just like them.  For a budget costume I was really proud of what she did.

Howie may be asking your wife to make him a Petty racing uniform. He's buying my Superbird clone project and building a Petty car. Now he'll have a nascar Daytona clone and a Petty Superbird clone. He's always trying to one-up me.

Hey Guys,

I was watching an episode of "My Classic Car" with Dennis Gage today and it got me to thinking that I thought he was scheduled to be at the Talladega meet.  So, I went back in the thread and sure enough I found it mentioned in the edited post above.
Was he there and I missed him?

Dennis cancelled late in the game due to some other commitment.
