All,
A couple of my buddies came out and was able to get on the track Sunday to take pics of all the races Sunday. They took roughly 1200 pics for the weekend. Most of the pic's taken were from turn 11 however a couple were taken at turn 10 and the ones on Saturday were taken from pit in and turns one and three area. If you would like to find out if Pete has a photo of you, read the below contact information and what he requests to find your photo.
Just have them send me their number, what races they ran ( I have the schedule and kinda know where they are in the grand scheme of the picture numbers), and a description of their leathers/bike and I will be more then happy to e-mail the pictures to them. You can contact Pete at: mooseload@bellsouth.net
Thanks for the great weekend.
Excellent! Email sent....thanks for posting this up.

I hope he/they send me some to put in the CCS website's Gallery, too.
Jeanne, what e-mail would you prefer to have them sent to? I'll make sure he sends some pics from each session on Sunday.
Sent your buddy an e-mail. Had a blast this weekend racing for the first time.
Hey folks!
The response so far has been outstanding! I am working on sorting and e-mailing the pictures to everyone, so please be patient with me...I have about 1300 pics to sort through (I'm the only one working on it...). In the next day or so I am looking to try a different approach by putting all of the pictures on a server (Kodak gallery or similar) so everyone who has sent me an e-mail can access the pictures and download whatever you like. My main concerns are to be able to get them served up so you can download the full resolution pictures (they are huge...4MB each!) so you can enlarge them even more if you like and they will look awesome AND to do it on a service that doesn't charge....I think I have it figured out, so hopefully you all will have access to them in a day or so.
I am planning on hitting a few more races on the east coast this year, and I will be sure to let you guys know when I will be around. As these are, all pictures I take I will post up for all of you so you can get some good shots and not have to pay the crazy money the track photographers charge....ypu spend enough money getting out there to race and shouldn't have to pay for YOUR memories...my payment is simply the chance to be around the races and hear the comments on the pictures.
Thanks for the great weekend, and I will let you know when the pics are available. If you have already e-mailed me, I will send you all the information on how to access them, and if you haven't yet, drop me a line and I will be sure to give you the information as soon as it is available.
If you cull them a bit, they would fit on a single layer DVD-/+R, or easily on a dual-layer disc without culling. Maybe you could offer to send out the DVD's for a fee to cover the media, shipping, etc, or you could create a torrent so that people could download the set through a bit torrent client, or FTP, or some such. I'd be glad to help if you need it. Either way, you would be removed from the process of sorting them out - I for one wouldn't mind doing the sorting work for the ones in which I'm interested, since you did all the work taking them and are offering them in the public domain.
2nd that.. It's always fun to look at other riders as well to pick up somthing that you might be able to apply.
Alrighty folks...here is the scoop. I purchased a flickr pro account, which gives me unlimited file uploads and the ability to share them to you folks so you can download/comment on them. You will not be able to download the full high res pictures unless you get a pro account, but you can browse, download the 1024 x (whatever it comes out to ) versions of all the photos, and if you are interested, you can simply send me an e-mail with the file names and I will be more then happy e-mail you the origionals....just realize that the files are rather big :-) As soon as I finish uploading the images/get it all squared away I will post the link and information on how to access it. I hope to have it all squared away this weekend (my bike is in the shop, so not much else to do other then work and get this done :-( ). I will send everyone who has e-mailed me this information as well as posting it here....
Take it easy and ride safe!
Pete
cant thank you enough man
Scott
Awesome dude, very generous of you.
not super computer savy, is "flickr" a website we go to view the pics?
It is the YAHOO photo display program.
Saturdays Pics are up, and sundays are on their way....as soon as a couple "test" subjects I have looking at the site give the thumbs up, they are all yours!
Pete, you're to much Bro. Hopefully folks don't start getting :ahhh: cause you're doing free stuff...Thanks again for coming out it was to bad you guys got stuck out on the track so long.
For everyone else -- if ya'll would have seen the smile he was wearing when he got back in at the end, you'd swore he just won every race out there...

Did I miss something? was there a link somewhere or going to give the link when its done? again, thanks so much

Thanks Jason! I really had a blast, and I am definately going to be looking to make it to some more races this season after this past weekend. I am going to try to turn it into a family thing by turning the wife and girls loose to shop (yikes!) or do whatever they want in the area of the races while I hang out and take pictures and watch you guys out there having all the fun! (If mama ain't happy, nobody is happy!)
Sunday pics are about 1/4 there....getting closer and closer! As soon as the morning race pics from sunday are uploaded, I will post the link and turn you all loose!
Can we have a drumroll please......
Here is the link to the photos. http://www.flickr.com/photos/mooseload/ All of Saturday (sorry...didn't take too many with the rain) and all but about 30 (uploading as we speak) from the morning races (before the lunch break) are up! The 700 or so from the afternoon sessions should be up by the end of the weekend.
To download an image, click on it, and it will load a new window with that image centered. Once the new image loads, you will see a symbol over the picture that looks like a magnifying glass and says "all sizes". Simply click on that, click the size you want to download all the way up to the original size, and click the download button! (I would suggest renaming the file as flickr gives it a whacked out file name)
Please download whatever you want, share the link with whomever you want, and comment on any of the pictures....I have unlimited bandwith and access with this account so there are no worries. With comments, please be nice to your buddies (a little ribbing is fine as long as its done in jest)....outright nasty posts...well....from what I have seen with you guys I don't think I need to go there.
Well, sit back, grab your :pop: and enjoy! Thanks for a great weekend of racing, and I hope to make it to a few different tracks this year!
Pete
Thanks Pete for taking the pictures and sharing :thumb:
Thank you so much for posting up the pics!!!! :biggrin: :cheers:
thanks a million for the pics. Some cool action shots for sure.
Still uploading the afternoon shots from sunday. I forgot to tell you guys...if you click on one of the 3 items on teh right (12 April, 13 April Morning or 13 April afternoon) it brings up a thumbnails screen. Simply click on "details" and it will bring up a "more friendly" size of the images so you dont have to deal with the tiny thumbnails....
Great job Pete. Just in case, you may want to send a special note Jeanne (webmisstress) with the link so she can grab some of the photos to post in the CCS photo section.
I know I didn't post much about the weekend before but I had a great time and the family / friend atmosphere of CCS never ceases to amaze me. This was my first time at CMP and can't wait to make it back again. Also wanted to throw a congrats to AM #174, great job on a first weekend out and our littlest racer of the weekend, Parker Steele (#85) on 125cc. Everyone else, thanks for the great racing.
Rachel and Jason, it's always a blast to race with and against. See ya'll at Summit.
Wow, there is a bunch more pis now! Thanks again! :biggrin: 8)
Thanks for the pics man! I wish Keebler and I weren't so close in a couple of the races so I could have had some more pics!
Thanks for the compliments guys! I finally got the last of the pics uploaded today (I had to go TDY for a couple days). I only have one request....please say a prayer for my buddy Don. I came home early from my TDY because he was in a very serious motorcycle accident on tuesday. A car made a sudden lane change into him and put him down hard. He is in ICU with "severe spinal cord damage" and we are taking it day by day with hopes that he will regain some mobility....all is out of the question according to the docs but he is one hell of a fighter so I wouldn't put it past him. Of course the guy who hit him wasn't paying attention/talking on the phone and driving on a suspended license....
Sorry for the downer in the post, but please enjoy all the pics and say a prayer for Don.
I'll pray for him sorry to hear aboout that. Cell phones the leader of all evils, were all guilty of it..
Prayers sent, sorry to hear about your buddy. (https://www.ccsforum.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.smileyhq.com%2Fsmilies%2Fsad0018.gif&hash=81bdbf68f39d6e695c7b487687db319d129f71be)
