All nearby Lightning owners invited. The TALON club in the Dallas-Fort Worth area is having a group photo on August 27 at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, TX, and we want to make it the biggest yet! Last year we had 62 total Lightnings for our photo, and this year we must eclipse that number. We have the opportunity to get all of the trucks on the big oval, and we have several ideas regarding the layout of the shot.

We are going to gather in the south infield parking lot by 4:00pm and will set up the first shot at 5:00pm, taking the shot at approx. 6:00pm. If there is time, we will have a second photo taken on turn 1. We plan to gather for dinner and drinks (pay for your own) afterward, and we'll likely decend on several restaurants in the area (no one place in the area will be able to handle all of us ).

There is no charge to be in the pic, and we have not decided how we are going to offer prints yet. We'll figure that out by pic day.

I hope to see you at Texas Motor Speedway on August 27! Come on out and help make this picture the biggest ever!

Here is a pucture I merged together from 3 pictures I took while we were setting up - to give you guys a feel for the scope of the final picture when it comes out.

We were VERY fortunate to have one of our members companies help pay for the boom lift and the track rental. We couldnt have done this without the support from Plano Heating and Air... Thanks RON !!!
