he may not have edited them post process, but he has obvisoulsy set up the camera to over saturate, the colors are not normal, they are all way too rich.

still, the one of you driving is a nice shot though.

I am something of a camera junkie. I don't know it all, but I do know a little. Regardless of what the shooter did to the pics, they came out kinda cool. Almost a simulated HDR look to them. That is what I thought they were at first.

and the Wb is so photogenic, it likes to have it's picture taken.

Nice picx! I'm lovin that Supra, I've always had a place in my heart for that car but just never acted on it.. Same thing for the Viper, but that's nowhere near affordable.

I did ok for my frist auto-x my frirst run was 1.01 then my last run was 56.7.

The 944 was not a turbo, but had alot of work and was set up just for auto-x his best time was 50.5,

Viper times were low 50s i think best wes 50.3 not 100% sure

The best time of the day was by an STi 49.4. He said he had more money in the car than it booked for.

The other RX-8 with the MS kit had a turbo kit(not sure what one) didnt get to talk to him and but from what i could get he was having tranny prob, and only run i got to see the time of was 54.XX

Cant wait till the next one had alot of fun and just need to lean how to drive the car. I have always been a drag racer till now.
