    I didn't take pictures of the non-maverick cars, but there were quite a few really nice ones. The pictures are kinda big, but I figured I would use my own bandwidth rather than save to the forum's server. PM me if you want larger versions of the pics for your viewing pleasure.

    It was a blast, had great weather (as far as Texas weather is concerned) and had a pretty good showing of car considering this is a FIRST ANNUAL car show.

    We will definitely go again next year:thumbs2:

    I think Ed fan2488 will forgive you. After all he did win 1st place in the Maverick open class category. Dougs Comet got second place. Scott thanks for posting the pictures. I was so busy today manning the show that I did not take any pictures for my self. Can you email me those pictures. Thanks for coming out today! It was a great time.

    Scott, you said

    "The pictures are kinda big, but I figured I would use my own bandwidth rather than save to the forum's server."



    How do you post the big pictures?

    Blu, My car is the only one safe to lean on and pose on without the owner screaming and hollering at them. So, that is where the pictures are taken:D

    Ed, I post my pictures to my website and then do a link from the website picture to the forum. That is why they come up as full-size pictures and not thumbnails. If you upload them to the forum server, they show up as thumbnails until you click on them.

    This way, when the page opens up, it pulls the entire picture without sucking it from the forum bandwidth. It actually pulls that section of the "page" from my website instead.

    I still size the pics down to 800X600 so they don't bog down those trying to look at the page with slower internet connections (sorry for any dial up users, it will REALLY bog them down....)

    Oops. Posted last thread before reading Ed (fan's) post.

    I stalled mine on the way home but luckily, only two blocks from home after dropping off the trailer. Just had to pop the hood and found a blown 7.5A fuse for my fuel pump. Swapped fuses after pushing the car out of the way and got home no problem.

    So, what caused the smoking?

    Can I have your blown block?:D
