Baldhead Racing 2002 Targa Newfoundland Pictures!

Subaru RS 2.5, Craig Hamm, Jim Morrow, Porsche 944S2, Karen Hamm, Craig Seko, Toyota Corolla (Jean MacGillivray and Sharen Findlay absent)

These pictures form a photo-diary of our experience at the 2002 Targa Newfoundland. Each page is about 200kb-300kb, and most cars are noted. The photos were taken by Baldhead Racing's official photographer / support vehicle driver / cleaner / finder-outer-of-all-things-Newfoundland, Craig Hamm. Some were also taken by Karen Hamm, decal applier and car detailer extraordinare, and a very few by myself. (The text is all mine, all errors are mine, etc.) For prints and/or higher resolution images (6 MegaPixel PhotoCD), please e-mail kchamm@sympatico.ca for details.

There are over 400 photographs in the photo-diary. My choices for Ten Best Pics. More will be added, dates TBA.
