Here are the photos that I and my co-pilot (BigBronco) snapped during the long haul. This was my fifth long haul, his 2nd one. Had a great time, despite driving through zero visibility rainstorms alongside hurricanes in the darkness. :_paranoid

Steve, I only shot a feature for Henry D at Chevy High, he asked for the blue '68 Camaro ragtop. The white 2nd gen you posted belongs to Rick, who posted right above you in this thread!

I would love to shoot Rick's car, he is in the Dallas area and isn't afraid to drive to Houston :thumbsup:

That would be Rick Kirkindall's 2nd gen. Super clean car. I'd like to see a feature on it.

I've seen Rick's 2nd gen at the Dallas AutoRama, Top Notch!

You guys gotta do a layout on that thing.

haha, someone snapped a photo of me snapping photos. That blue color is a 2004 Lexus color, looks killer in sunset lighting.

You should have turned the wheel a tiny bit to the right.. ;)


Next time tell Henry the Camaros are ours.. he can have the rest of the Chevys. lol

I'll change the subject just a bit.. What happened with the cherry bomb trailer accident? The cars looked smashed, the truck and trailer looked lightly scuffed..

I'll change the subject just a bit.. What happened with the cherry bomb trailer accident? The cars looked smashed, the truck and trailer looked lightly scuffed..

The white Nissan 240 was hauling ass, the Cherry Bomb truck was just waiting in the center turn-around of the highway. The old folks in the black car pulled out from the right to cross, the Nissan slammed on the brakes but still nailed the rear quarter panel of the black car. When this happened, the trunk flew open and it spun the black car around. The trunk was full of beer and wine, which became a projectile and hit the Cherry Bomb truck door. The black car came to rest against the truck. I saw the entire thing happen, I was standing at the gas station when I heard the tires lock up on the 240...then BOOM!

Nobody was seriously injured, other than the old lady getting a cut on her forearm.

Awesome pics, Tony!

I was the 2nd car stopped on the highway when they closed it for the two rollbacks to pick the cars up. All the Cherry Bomb guys were standing around smoking and talking on cell phones. I suspect they had a bit of stress.

Thanks for the pics.

I love the 69 vert on page 2 with the bumblebee stripe. I get tired of being told my stripe isn't 'correct' for my 69 :)
