Candles in paper bags.

A nice rear end.

I only have my phone to take photos with but so far this one is my favorite of our trip:

Pic of the Gulf of Mexico off of Santa Rosa Island Beach, unfortunately my phone doesn't do the view justice.

I have driven in demolition derby off and on since 1992. I have had my fair share of bumps and bruises but here are a few pics that are my favorites.

This is THE most wicked photo I have seen of any demo ever... on the web or in person. Little set up for the photo so you can appreciate it a little more. The track is a 1/4 mile dirt trach where we run on the infield and front straight away. The infield had a go kart track so it was a nice dish shape. I full tracked someone so this is the result of me going wide open and catching air. Btw... thats a 4k pound car about 8 foot in the air. You would need to be in the stands have a better view but over all its interesting to say the least.

Needless to say I would not suggest people get in to a road rage fight with me.

This was me and my team mate fighting it out in the end (which it usually comes down to) but you can see the physics in motion on this one.

Enjoy

Had to share this one. It is a Meerkat that was at the Nashville Zoo today.

That is Crazy. I have ran demo derbies in the past as well as raced 1/2 mile dirt track and I have never seen anything like that, awesome, thanks for sharing.

That is an awesome pic...how was yourlower back after that one?I always hated flat landing my race truck...oooh I can still feel it at times

suspension seats were an awesome invention....

Its odd. When I look at some of the hits on video the ones I think should hurt and be bone crushing are not very painful. Some of the simple ones... feel like a sledge hammer. Its a odd and crazy sport. Its so much work to tear stuff up. Once I am done with all the cars in my pasture I will "offically" retire and will focus more on the bus.

Till then... I will continue to help recycle some of the mid 70s full size GM cars.

Thanks for the kind words.

Saw this while taking the dogs for their last walk before bed. Beautiful cold clear night.

Awesome pic!

I am so sorry that I have not been keeping up with this thread. And I must also apologize for the missing images in all of my previous posts. I have changed photo hosting services a couple of times over the past couple of years and many of the photos I've shared on a number of websites now have broken links. I think I've settled on a site for now.

Anyway, here's some recent stuff:

Foggy sunrise north of Ocala, January 2013

Morning fog in trees north of Ocala, January 2013

Ocklawaha River at Sharp's Ferry Bridge, Ocala, April 2013

Historic Ocala National Bank building, downtown Ocala, July 2013

From a trip to Asheville, NC a few years ago:

Fox Creek Road, Mars Hill, July 2011

Blue Ridge Mountains,, North Carolina July 2011

Looking Glass Falls, North Carolina, July 2011

This was from the winery at Linville Falls, NC

you can eat them but they are very concentrated, the smaller the grape the better(no extra water in them) grapes in store taste a lot better for a snack, to go with your wine

also I drive through Mars hill when I go to Asheville(big customer there)

Hah! Small world.

We stayed with another couple in a little cabin on Fox Creek Road up in the hills. It was beautiful at night. I'd never seen the Milky Way until that week. (I've always lived in big cities, or never had a chance to walk out in the middle of the night and look at the stars.)

Once my project is complete, one of the places I want to see again is the Biltmore Estate, but next time during the winter.

bansil · 08-21-2013, 09:38 AM

We haven't been to Biltmore in years...we talked about it last weekend, love the place and the gardens and winery are great fun...the $60 each ticket price is a little steep

but it's worth it to enjoy an entire day on the grounds

keep us in mind for when you go, it's only a couple hour drive for us

Don't forget the additional cost of any of the separate tours through the hidden areas of the house. And lunch.

Anyone planning to see the place more than once a year would do well to purchase an annual pass. I forget how much those are, but it pays for itself after only two or three visits.
