date include Silverstone British GP in early 1990’s
Continuation will
require scanning of negatives which are, to say the least, disorganized.
I may not get to this
task till next winter (or the one after that)!
Another project shared
with Randy McKee and Greg Rickes is to scan the
archives of our friend Joe Corbett.
So there’s no shortage
of tasks!
It is now the winter
of 2012 and I'm scanning my negatives from the 1980s. They are not in true
order, sorted or labeled so have fun! 5000 and counting...

Videos I took at the
SCCA Runoffs at Road Atlanta. These are .iso files
that you can play from your hard drive or burn a DVD. The files are 4GB for the
largest.
If you want to share these videos in any manner, credit to Clark W. Nicholls
and this website must be given!
I suggest you "save target as" or "save
link as" (depending on what browser you use) using right-click on the
links and save the .iso file to your hard drive.
These files are
not available for download now. If you would like copies, send me an email and
I'll send you a link to my Google Files location. Contact info is at the bottom
of this page.

I should have a contest like how
many jelly beans in the jar. How many slides in the closet? (I don’t know the
answer and won’t be counting them). I have several thousand more from later
years. Lots of F1, mostly boring. Hopefully I’ll get to them!
Here’s the workstation, scanner
lower right:
Scans are being done with a HP Scanjet 4890 at 300dpi resolution.
This scanner scans 16 slides in one batch at user selected resolution with Hewlett
Packard software.
I used 300dpi which makes a jpg file 500-700KB each slide. Not the best, but ok
for now.
The PC is a dual core AMD Athlon 64x2 4400+ 2.2GHz
processor with 3GB RAM running Windows XP-Professional.
I’m building a new
quad-core PC for Windows 7, so I have added another scanner to my toolbox, HP
G4050
I've now updated to PCs
with AMD Phenom Quad 3.4GHz processors, 16GB of RAM
and Windows 10, which will run the scanning software.
Also I have a scanning station with an Intel Quad I5-3470 Core 3.2GHz processor
with 16GB of RAM.
Link to TigerDirect where there is much more information on the
G4050 here
I think the Epson V500
(below) is a worthy scanner too, but does fewer slides at once! Around $230
