Putnam Park 3-24-02 016.jpg (77322 bytes) Another '99.  I forgot to say hello to this guy (duh!!) but it was one fast miata!

Putnam Park 3-24-02 017.jpg (76614 bytes) The TWIN!  Yes, the "twin" blue miata of Mr. Mike Shepherd made it to the track, ready to roll on it's debut.

Putnam Park 3-24-02 018.jpg (57618 bytes) What a putz.  Who is this dork?  ...and who let him in my car?

Putnam Park 3-24-02 019.jpg (79410 bytes) Another shot of the twin.

Putnam Park 3-24-02 021a.jpg (176915 bytes) John, calling in for an emergency prescription of Bean-O.  Rumor has it, John was almost disqualified as his car was suspected of running on some sort of "toxic gas".  Since no NOS bottle was found, they let him run anyway.

Putnam Park 3-24-02 024.jpg (62012 bytes) A big variety of other cars at the track.  Quite a nice mix of wonderful cars!

Putnam Park 3-24-02 025.jpg (67900 bytes) In the pits, getting tech'd and almost ready to run.

Putnam Park 3-24-02 026.jpg (74686 bytes) DUDE!

Putnam Park 3-24-02 027.jpg (74552 bytes) DUDE!!!!  V06 Vette!  Will that ticker fit in a miata?

Putnam Park 3-24-02 029.jpg (78544 bytes) Audi TT.  This car was screaming on track!  You could always hear it coming.  Pretty cool.

Putnam Park 3-24-02 030.jpg (65395 bytes) A shot from inside.

Putnam Park 3-24-02 031.jpg (67236 bytes) Some more contenders.  I almost caught up enough to pass the Porsche but the checkered flag was out.  That black vette was freak'n fast!

Putnam Park 3-24-02 034.jpg (250912 bytes) Five Lexington, KY miata junkies.

Putnam Park 3-24-02 037.jpg (258617 bytes) Another shot of trouble in the making.

Putnam Park 3-24-02 035.jpg (267920 bytes) The twins.  One of the few times seen steadily side by side.  Usually one is passing the other.  Kinda depends on whos in the passenger seat and how much the driver ate for lunch.

Putnam Park 3-24-02 036.jpg (258806 bytes) One more pic.
