Bit's 'n pieces

The newest phase in the evolution of the GGR logo.

(Val) When you get the chance, check out the link below. It is our first time for one of Spring's pics to be used on another racing site, that we know of anyway. Thanks to Paul Pittman at Velocity Wings and the IRA for using one of the pics I sent him on the site. (Yes, he had permission, which is the right way to do it!) Thanks also to Paul for being the first to post a comment on the blog for the Cars movie review. It's nice to know someone out there actually reads this stuff once in a while.

I've been messing around with a collage program that I have, and you can see the results both in the new logo on the home page and in a fun collage on the Gallery page. The program is called Collage Creator and I got it on clearance for five bucks at Wal-Mart. It's definitely one of the best $5 I ever spent! There has to be a way to do this kind of stuff in Paint Shop Pro, but I have yet to get a handle on that program. I was able to figure out enough to finish up the new logo, once I created the collage, but that took forever and a day. Now that I've done it, though, I ought to be able to do it again without too much trouble.

This weekend we have a big family reunion in Kansas City, and there is a slight chance we might attempt to take in the ASCS race at U.S. 36 Raceway in Osborn, MO tomorrow night. It will depend a lot on the weather and how tired we are after messing around all day in KC. Our daughter may want to check out a college or two, and she found us a go kart track so hopefully, we will get to go hang out there for a while and actually do some racing!

The next race on the horizon, and this is not on the calendar yet, is the World of Outlaws vs. All Stars Challenge at I-55 Raceway in Pevely, Mo. As you may remember, we were supposed to be at the National Sprint Tour race at Tri-City last Sunday night, but due to the tragic death of NST promoter Fred Brownfield, that event was postponed. As far as I know right now, things are still up in the air as to the re-scheduling of that event.

That's the news for now. I hope everyone is enjoying the photos on the site. Spring was having some problems with her monitor the last time we talked, so I'll have to see how things are coming on her business site. Until next time, keep all four wheels on the ground. Well, ok, just three in the corners will work.
