Yesterday I was at the start line as Jo Coddington was about to make
many of her runs on the long course. I happened to snap this picture:

It had crossed my mind previously (as I was talking with Wes Potter)
but I didn't realize what I had until I looked at the shot. The dark
line in the upper left-hand corner is what I heard referred to as
"Boyd's Canyon" (You can blame that one on PorkPie); the little gouge
in the salt that seems to have had something to do with motorhomes
and wreckers. I found the irony somewhat amusing.
I'm not taking sides here...just making an observation about the
interesting way a shot turned out.
Btw, from my (lunatic) fringe position, it seemed to me that the
Coddington team did a fine job of being a race team. I found them to
be polite and friendly and low-key...but that's just one old fart's
opinion. Your mileage may vary.
I tried to put more emphasis on detail and eye-catching shots in the
2 days I was there. I guess I'll see how the photos are received to
determine if it was a success. But I got a lotta pics to choose from. :)
I sure enjoyed my time on the salt. I really love the atmosphere at
WF. I'm already crossing fingers and considering a sacrifice to the
weather gods for next year. :)

ps to Tomas: I'll get the pics I promised to you asap. You do a good
"Walk like an Egyptian" act. I liked that one. (Yeah, I know...I
started it.) Same holds true for your pics, Mayf. Maybe if you
tried the Egyption thing I could get 'em done quicker. LOL!
