Through A Quilter's Eye - Part 2

Day 2 - COLD (for FL) and a bit rainy....of course that doesn't stop the cars.  Wonder who ever decided.....hey, let's get in our cars and race around a track for 24 hours?  Definitely a guy thing!


No, Dr. McDreamy sighting yet.  Though we went to his garage area.  Nearby I saw this crew practicing getting in and out of their car....FAST is the word here.  Most of the drivers are quite small in stature.....not bad in the butt department though.  (Which was the action shot I tried to get here....they were too quick and there are sooooo many people everywhere, it's difficult to take pictures.)

 
What is it about guys in their fire suits.....not bad hey?

Auto art:  Incredible.....photos of celebrities all over this Porsche.  Though it may not show up well enough......the Rolling Stones are on the door.....but most of the images featured Jimmy Hindrex.

More art:  I spotted this portrait at the same booth with the auto art.  Gerry Garcia (in case you are too young to recognize this rock star.)  The image was a collage of hundreds of small photos (about 3" sq.)........amazing.


Here's a detail of the Garcia portrait.

Oh.....the race is still going on.....after over-nighting in sensible fashion -  at a hotel, we are now headed back to the track to wait and watch (oh my...be still my heart) for the finish of the race at 1:30 PM EST.  66 cars started.  It's always interesting to see how many manage to finish. When we left last night, Dr. McDreamy's car was still running, though I don't know which of the 4 drivers was at the wheel.  Again....stay tuned....

It was the Jerry Garcia artwork that caught my eye. Are you a Dead Head? Sugar Magnolia?
