2003 M-100 Meet pics

Here are some pics I shot at this year's M-100 Meet in Pennsylvania....

This one is of an AMG modified 6.3 liter engine with stage 3 nitrous oxide. It is set up on a test rig at Karl Middelhauve's shop. With a full NOS shot, it will put out 600hp.

This is Dan Smith's 6.3, a.k.a. "Silver Bullet" which he drove all the way from Portland, Oregon. His car is slightly modified and runs a 14.1 second 1/4 mile WITH air conditioning on!!

And finally, here are some of the cars lined up in the paddock. My 6.3 is to the right of the black S600 which belongs to Neil Dubey of Star Motors in Endicott, NY. That car ran a 14.1 second 1/4 mile as well.

Aaron, sorry I missed you. While you were at the races, I was at Karls taking pictures and meeting the people. It was fun.

Mmmm, that "Silver Bullet" looks familiar Now all I have to do is be able to make mine burn out like that (who knows - it might be able to now!)
