There was the traditional display from the USFRA with some kool stuff and right inside one of the main doorways was the Mormon Missile, all shined up like a young lady ready for Prom Night.
Some pretty kool (and varied) cars, trucks and bikes...a lotta bikes.
Enjoy,
THANKS for sharing :cheers: :cheers:
Nope, I don't consider that to have been a waste of time. Excellent entertainment.
Thanks for sharing your photos Ray.

Ray as always great photos. Wish I could have been there, maybe next year.
Glad y'all are enjoying. I'll be doing it all over again this weekend in Boise, ID at the Boise Roadster Show.
What a kool deal I'm living. I get to go to car shows (and get in free with media credentials...to most of 'em, anyway) and shoot photos of the kool stuff there, then do the same at road races and the salt flats...man, I'm livin a literal dream. When I was 20 years old and got my first SLR camera (an Asahi Pentax Spotmatic) I DID dream of becoming a freelance photographer. I never thought if it as much more than a dream...but now I are one. :)
:-D And I can't think of a more deserving person! Continue on Rat man!!
Fantastic photos Ray. Anybody else notice there were only 5 Harleys that didn't have an oil catchpan under 'em? :-D They don't have a "known" history of leaking...do they? :roll:
Lynda
Thanks, Crow. 'Preciate the good words.
I didn't count those without drip pans, but I know there were a heck of a lot that had 'em underneath...and with fresh oil spots, too. I figger they're a lot like Chevys. They just have a need to mark their territory. But Harleys weren't the only one. The 69 Triumph with the "Monster Mash" theme had a drip pan, too, as did the Indians.
:-o Harley's don't leak! They are just marking their spot!!!!
And as a bonus Ray, you got to see me. :-D Wayno
I bought a Pentax Spotmatic in 1969 and still have it. Great Camera.
Bill
As did I (Japan 1969). But I sold it years ago :cry:

Great shots as always Ray. Livin' the dream...
Great video. I could just about feel me sitting in that car and driving down the road. Good sounds, too -- motor, blower, even the quick change's whine.
Of course there's the issue of the driver doing all of the photography while driving. . .
Wow, Great pics. as usual Rayman! BTW, very nice shots in BRN coverage featuring WF's & Shootout. Not to menti :cheers:ion the Cover! Way to go Ray!!
Boy it's nice to see sharp, well exposed photos with good depth of field. What lens are you using Ray?
As an aside, the feature cars from that show were up here in the Calgary show a couple of weeks ago.
Pete
I just "went" to the Autorama a week after they left.
The next best thing to being there is to go by Ray the Rat's pictures. The pictures were so real that after I saw all the cars and bikes, my legs were starting to hurt.
I think that kustom pedal trike was cool. It didn't have chain drive, but chain no-drive.
Great shoot Ray.
Again, thanks to all for the good words. I used my Canon 7D with the Canon 18-200 mm IS lens and an EX430 Speedlite. Many of the shots were done with low a ISO setting and a small aperture (f22-f32) with the camera on a tripod. That allowed me to use exposure times of 3 to 15 seconds based on the the brightness of the car or bike. A white car required much less exposure duration than a black one. What it did was to help out with the depth-of-field and blur any people moving in the background...and sometimes in the foreground.
I'm just now editing the shots from the Boise Roadster show. A photo's attached. I gotta get 'em done soon cuz I have another show to cover this coming weekend.
Thanks again,
