| Atlanta Freestyle Riders performed al types of stunts on their motorcyles. They were interesting to watch. | Again here is the Atlanta Freestylers. Wish I had a picture of every stunt that did. Hand Stands, riding on the gas tank, lots of different things |
 |
 |
| Got several pictures from Friday practice. Here Matt Hawkins lays down some fast times. | Shawn Simpson at speed. This is just before he had the tire explode and he smacked the outside wall. |
 |
 |
| Ronnie Sanders had problems with one of his cars all day Friday. This poor guy was under the car working on it most of the day. | Johathan Chandler won the Pro Challenge race, and also won the National Championship. They had a nice field of cars, and provided some good competition |
 |
 |
| Joe Click is a GAS regular. He did not make the top 24 in qualifying, and chose not to compete in the heat races to try and earn a spot that way. | Robin Adamson stayed busy changing tires for the race teams. He works for Garrison Racing Equipment and changed about 800 tires over the weekend. |
 |
 |
| At 9:00 am Sunday the World Crown teams had to come in and start unloading their race haulers. It was necessary to remove all the haulers so the large gathering of fans could see all of the track and great racing action easily. | This might be half of the haulers when they were removed from the infield. They were all parked behind the back stretch, and the haulers were all parked two deep. If you look closely you can see a second row behind the first row facing you. |
| Pics and Information About Tech | |
 |
 |
| this little tech mans helper is called the Referee. It measures several items at one as it passes over the car. Here it measure maximum roof height. | Here you can see the chains hanging down that measure the rear height of the rear quarter panels |
 |
 |
| Here the tech official measures the height of the rear spoiler to be sure it is not above maximum height | Here the length of the rear spoiler is measured to make sure it is not to wide. |
 |
 |
| The Referee also checks to see that the nose of the car is not kicked out too far (which helps downforce). In this instance the instrument show the nose is out about an inch too far. | The width of the nose piece is also measured. There is a maximum measurement and this car was too wide at the measured point. |
 |
 |
| Here the official checks the carburetor. You check all the difference orifices. That box of tools laying next to the official measures all the different openings | One other item in the scales. It weight total weight, left side weight, and right side weight. There is a minimum weight with the driver inside, it the car don't meet the minimum after the race, it will be disqualified. |
 |
|
| Along with meeting weight requirements post race, the motor is checked, and usually the carburetor again. Here Kelley's car goes through post race tech before he can officially be declared the World Crown Champion. | |
