I pasted each one together manually a while ago from dozens of tiny pictures. The 2002 pics came from Globeexplorer and the 94 pics came from Terraserver.

Do you have to subscribe to get the globeexplorer letters off of the screen? I vaguely remember a race between you and a C5 where similar pics were used to tell the story.

Sorry about highjacking the thread!

Anyone here from Denver or New Mexico? That's the only places I can think of that are higher than Utah.

IIRC it's the higest altitude NHRA track in the US. Bone stock lightnings struggle to get into the high 14's here.

That does suck ***, but with our nasty heat, and summer monsoons our DA can get up to 7000 ft.....like the night we were out there onyx!

I think I'm gonna run from Nov. to Feb. that way at least it's cool out.
