Is there any shutter delay? Or does it shoot like a true SLR. So far all I have looked at is the Canon. But thats mainly because of my satisfaction with my old AE1p That Ive had since '86.

[Pappy]

there is no delay at all with the higher end slr's. imo the rebel and the canon (model 20 i think) have a slighter slower shutter response then the nikon but both are good units.

my brother has the rebel digital slr and it works fine and is not too badly priced.

[Woodsrider]

Thanks for the info Pappy, i'll give it a kick for sure before I make a purchase. ;)

[D-7#61-450r]

Hey great pics pappy. You make me feel abit more confident going into tomorrows race. Those pics turned out great. I almost believe I'm fast now.
Tomahawk Has really turned into a Fun place to Ride and I can't wait to race there on the 9th. You guys are really turning into a more quad freindly track. Also I could never imagine getting the free rain to pactice like we did today. Thanks for the good times and we'll be back soon for more.:D

[KH426]

Kicks *** :devil: let me know next time you are coming to practice

[FasstMidnightZ]

[D-7#61-450r]

Sorry to say it but I didn't get to practice.(Screws in carb slide backed out). 007 Danny did a half lap in Practice before he got a hole in his radiator! 1st moto 2 1/2 laps in I came up real short on a double and well I don't remember. I finished in last place but don't remeber crossing the line. I'll post pics later of war wounds.

133 Nick Shoupe did well in A class with a 2-3, P Gregg finished 1-2. And a few the members of the mafia finished well in B and C class. The track was very dusty If you were not up front you at dirt.
