Don't forget killboy and Zee Foto also took pictures on the Dragon on those days. To find them, go to:

www.killboy.com and click on the store link

or

www.zeefoto.com and click on the photo store link

Both links take you to the PhotoReflect web store, the same store where US129 photos are sold. So order your photos all together and save on shipping and such.

Tom, I tried to order them from different vendors like you suggested. It will not allow me. It tells me to purhcase them in seperate transactions when you try to add them to your cart. Crazy? Did it work for you?

James

PS Thanks for the ZEEPHOTO link, I have to buy a couple more now!

That's a new one. Even my motorcycle friends didn't know about it. Thanks, James.

Sorry James. I hadn't gotten around to ordering my photos yet. I thought it said somewhere on Killboy's site that you could order them all together. Oh well. I doubt it makes much difference.

Thanks for the other link. I didn't know about Mooshine photos.

Tom, Not a problem. The answer I received was that the website (photoreflect) is just a hosting website for these photographers to use to sell photos. So you are actually purchasing photos from each individual, they just use all the same service to display their product.

Just a reminder that all purchases from US129 will receive a 20% discount on any order of $10 or more.
The Promo code to get the 20% discount is "Crossfire08"

Did anyone who attended get a pic with every driver with their car ??
I got only the drivers who stayed for the Sunday drive and went to the lower Dam first for some more pics.

AllX'dUp (Terry) is creating and editing a video with my video footage and all of his video footage from his cameras set up he had on his car.
He will also be editing in still shots with cars w/drivers (with names if possible)

If anyone else here has video footage or stills with drivers and there cars send me a PM and let me know what ya have.
I will be in contact with Terry again soon.

Just got this email from Paul:

Gary!... The more I see these 'Crossfires', the more I like them.
I did a little 'research' and have the 'bare bones' for an article in 'Old Autos'.
Again, that is not to say they will publish it!
This 'newspaper'- magazine is more about old vehicles than new but they really have an 'open mind' to all 'passion' and I think an article like this will be of interest to Canadian Crossfire owners and every-one else!

You did mention the number of Crossfires in the U.S. and Canada over the phone, I just can't remember that...could you send it to me?
I do have the total production figures for all 6 years. It is a little fuzzy whether there was a '03 model....did they start with '03 or 04?

I just finished a huge project today and did not have time to 'get to ' my brothers for the picture work I need to do.
I have not 'forgotten' and do want to swiftly get them out to 'you all'.
I will also send you the Crossfire article when it's finished!

I seem to be working harder now than before I 'retired'!
Paul.

Paul Jordan pulled off I-75 in Tennessee along with us
while our Crossfire convoy from up north was traveling down to the Dragon.
He took a lot of pics and is putting together a story about our Crossfires and our forum in a AUTO magazine.
It will also
tell the story of the Dragon meets we have every spring and fall.


This is Paul Jordan - Freelance writer & photographer (Retired from 30 years with GM)

Everytime I saw Lisa at the hotel computer, she was looking at SRTs for sale. I have a feeling her car for the spring event might be faster than the one she has now!

Sorry to hear that Texas T. I got off with a warning and I was by myself also. I decided to leave ahead of the group (and you all know who you are) and take my time and let them catch up to me eventually. I am just glad the group didn't catch up to me while pulled over! I am sure the camera shutters would have been clicking!

It difinitely takes the wind out of your sails after that. James

Well with some help from a friend I was able to post all the proofs from the Dragon photographers in my gallery.
I will be ordering some of the best ones to.
