I made the cradle as small as was feasible without compromising its hold of the BlackBerry while charging.
With street parking on major roads as uncommon as it is in Texas outside of the big city downtowns, imagine how pleased I was to find parallel street parking for compact cars along W Magnolia Ave in Fort Worth's Near Southside. Yes, I'd rather have that concrete parking lane covered in tar to blend in with the rest of the road, but I'm being nitpicky here. Fort Worth has done as good of a job as any on Magnolia Avenue by even having parallel street parking in the first place, reducing the number of thru-traffic lanes rather than increasing their number, implementing bike lanes (the area between the solid white line and the edge separating the tar/concrete is the west-bound bike lane), and having compact car-only parking (in a city and state filled with full-size pickup trucks and SUVs!).
Another awsome Sport Compact event at WSID.Loads of cars made the trek from all over Aus to compete.Almost capacity entries on the track & a great selection of hot cars on show.
The presentation standard of Sport Compact drag cars has really amazed me so far this year, with a lot of the top runner track cars looking like prestine show cars with candy pearl paint jobs,tastefull air brushing and graffix and tuff drag spec rims all round. these guys have definatly stepped it up a notch!
Took a whole lot of photo's throughout the day, but unfortunatly forgot my memory backup so was limited to 4G worth of space...Ahhhrr.
Anyway, enjoy and please let me know what you think.

Yes, I am learning new things on my American adventure. Apparently these are what small cars are in America. I know this, because they all park on the compact spots.
This has to be the case surely...as the alternative can only be that vast numbers of people who drive these vehicles are completely illiterate.
What's great is that this moron couldn't even stay between the lines, let alone read.
Most special collections items are housed in the Missouri Valley Special Collections closed stacks where they are more secure and in an environmentally-controlled space. However, these items are still available to researchers who request them. Senior archivist Kate Hill demonstrates the process of maneuvering the compact shelving to retrieve requested material.
