OK, so I registered FOREVER ago, and never bothered posting. Go ahead, slap my hand, I deserve it. 
Anywho, I'm Jillian (J-Byrd), my mom (Linda, she should be along to join soon)
and I go to a few races a year, and I'm an avid photographer. Last
year I (finally) upgraded to a digital SLR, and kinda went nuts. At
the Charlotte race this year, I took over twelve HUNDRED (that's 1200,
it just sounded cooler written out) pictures at the Truck and All-Star
races. Still had room on my memory card for almost a thousand more,
too. Problem is, I didn't quite understand the sizing settings on the
DSLR, and ended up with pics that were (no lie) 2 x 3 FEET when I
opened them in Paint Shop. YIKES!! Not good for posting. So I
piddled around, and never got most of them resized. Until today.
Behold, the Picasa Album!! I'm sorry that some of them are blurry, this was the first night race that I really tried to take pictures at, and didn't have the settings quite right. But considering they were shot in the stands, across the track down the backstretch, with a Target Special camera, they're not too shabby. ;)
This is the Truck Series Race // All-Star Qualifying
day from Charlotte this year, and
pics from Atlanta and Vegas in the fall last year. I'm still working on the ones from the All-Star Race the next day
(including the Race Your Way In ones, whatever they called it). Hopefully I'll have
those up before Bristol this year, cause that's my next race.

Well, we ended up not being able to get passes for Bristol, so we're not going.  But we should be at Martinsville and Talladega, assuming all of the passes aren't taken by the "important" people lol.
I *WILL* get to Bristol one day to take pictures. |

OK, so now that I have instructions to actually post pics rather than a link to an album, here is, by semi-popular request, my hair.
And this one is a little blurry, but it is pink, I promise.

| You're never too old for colored hair!! I'm 30, and luckily work in a job where I don't see any customers, so it really doesn't matter what I look like. We've got people at work with tattoos and piercings all over the place, and 4 of the people on my team have "abnormally" colored hair (mine's been like this for over a year). If you're going to do it, use ChromaSilk color, it's professional color but you can get it online, I think it's $8 per tube, but we had one tube each of pink, purple and blue, and they lasted us over a year, so a little goes a long way. |
