Extreme Close-up Contest for December 23rd

[Mark 72@E]

"Gimme head with hair
Long beautiful hair
Shining, gleaming,
Streaming, flaxen, waxen

Give me down to there hair
Shoulder length or longer
Here baby, there mama
Everywhere daddy daddy

Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
Flow it, show it
Long as God can grow it
My hair"

--The Cowsills


Something different this week. I suspect females will have an edge in this contest. To win you must correctly identify any 4 out of 7 of the drivers in these photos.

Normally the driver, the driver’s pit crew, and the driver’s family are ineligible to enter but this time I’ll make an exception. But if you see yourself or see your driver you can’t identify yourself or your driver to win – you must correctly identify 4 different drivers.

Have fun!

Shot with a Nikon D80 (digital) 35mm SLR with Nikon 18mm-200mm Vibration Reduction (VR) lens. This photo will eventually be removed to save server space. When it’s removed you can find it at http://highpoint.photoreflect.com

ALL 7 HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED. DON'T SCROLL DOWN BELOW THE PHOTOS UNLESS YOU WANT TO SEE THE ANSWERS!

Dang. I thought I would have this thread going at least half way through the Redskins game tonight! Zero eyeballs showing but Ryan you still won with your first try. You are correct on:

A-Loretta Langlois
B-Marissa Langlois
D-AJ Jennings
G-John Mauck

John was my ace-up-the-sleeve. I figured NO ONE would guess him. And you're right about F-Stacy Runne but hey, it's your sister, read the rules!

Full photos will follow -- I don't have all of them ready yet!


This leaves C and E yet to be identified for an Honorable Mention...

Greg is right

Greg is right, E is Abby Pond. Photo will eventually follow...

So we're down to identifying C, which is funny. If she was in her safety gear it would be easier...

[Mark 72@E]

Still waiting for C to be identified...

[Mark 72@E]

I thought this one would throw off everyone...

[Mark 72@E]

Abby Pond is E

C has yet to be identified...

[joep72n]

the answer to c is val d'agastino(spelling ?)

[Mark 72@E]

2 hints for the 2nd Quarter

C has yet to be identified...

Redskins are ahead of Minnesota in the 2nd Quarter, so 2 hints:

1) This driver is female

2) All of these photos were taken at Sharptown, MD, June 2007.

Randel El just scored a touchdown for Washington, so here's a third:

3) Nationally recognized (not just a local driver)

Joep72n Got It!

Joep72n Got It - an Honorable Mention!

Val is C.

I didn't see your post before I gave my last hints.

Here's what was weird about this photo. I prefer taking photos of people when they don't know I am, even if it means taking their backs like AJ and Dominic in the photo D above. I believe it makes the photo more "natural". In the instant before snapping the shutter Val turned >>and smiled<< as if she instinctively knew I was taking a picture. That was eerie Val, very eerie...

Valerie has this Sixth Sense when there is a camera around. She ALWAYS poses. I have yet to get a candid shot of this girl... even when she's racing she poses.
