Thanks everyone!!

A 30 second exposure was used, took the picture, lit the car for a for a few seconds with a flashlight, jumped in the car which was parked with its lights off, turned the lights on, and reversed. I would have liked the car to be more visible instead of ghost like, but it turned out pretty neat. BTW, Picasa2 was used on pictures 1 and 3.

I used a 30 second exposure and the timer. When the shutter opened I used a flashlight to "paint" the car so it would show up. I did this for about ten seconds, then I jumped in the car turned on the lights, and reversed for about fifteen seconds. Good Luck!!!

I am hoping to attend. A buddy and I are planning on flying down there. Anyone know if the Goliad airport will be open at all during the day of the Texas Mile to aircraft? I see that there are two runways.
