    Great pics! I would love a high res version of the rear Challenge shot if you have it.

    I can't remember exactly, but I think we had 25 Ferraris show up last year, even with the rain and even though it was our first year. If the weather holds out and with the other exotics it should be a great informal event.

    Unfortunately you're looking at the high res. I had my old Mavica then. Thats the actual photos. I'll have the 5Meg Pixel this year.

    A bit off subject, but something I think everyone needs to realize, if you didn't already know...greater megapixel cameas do NOT mean greater image quality. It just mean you have the ability to take natively larger pictures. So if you are used to taking casual pictures, say 1024x768, buying a camera with a higher megapixel factor will not get you better 1024x768 picutres, just the ability to capture pictures larger than that. Digital camera manufactuers are implying megapixels as a sense of image quality, when really, that has nothing to do with it.

    Oh agreed. My old Mavica takes pretty darn good pictures especially for it's age. That's why I have the new Sony DSC T1. It's also a very good camera.

    That's what I have too and I love it. Have to keep it really still though, but I think most digitals are like that.

    Can everyone do me a big favor and contact all the local exotic car clubs and forums to invite them. No FCA membership required. Just a $20 entry fee per car that includes lunch sponsored by Boardwalk. Lamborghini, Lotus, Porsche, Maserati, DeLorean, Pantera, and etc. Let me know which clubs you contact. The PDF version located on www.fcadfw.com is only about 60k, so easy to mail around. There will be a total of 12 trophies available for non-Ferraris. Thanks!

    I'm planning on bringing my 360 up from Houston. Should be fun. I grew up in Dallas but haven't had a chance to drive the 360 around there yet. Can't wait to drive my old stomping grounds in an F-car!

    I should be there this year to do the whole meet and greet, I’ll mossy around and take pictures and such….

    As for camera’s, I’ll take my Canon G6 over any camera in its price range. It wont fit in my pocket like your Sony DSC T1, but I can get a superb crisp clear pictures without being perfectly still and so on:)
