Alfa Day 8/27/09

Hello All, Rx-8 Putih and I went out to the Alfa Day at Pacific Raceways to take pictures of fellow 8-Club members Dondo and JantzenRX-8. I'm new to photography so the pictures might not be that great. It was my first time panning. I used a Nikon D200. I did not crop or do anything to the pictures except remove the plates off of the cars.

First have to give props to the Alfa's since it was their day!

That would be Bob Bundy... God, he's EVERYWHERE! He's been at every autox I've ever been at and every track day I've seen pictures of. That Miata is turbo'ed, and making around 390hp at the wheels!

thanks for the pics man! please ignore all pics of me with the other guy riding. he was barking in my ear and totally screwing with me so i couldn't concentrate. those were some of the worst laps ever..

after i booted him things got a lot better.

it looks like chris' wheel is tucked up there.. or maybe it's just the shadows..

Nice pics! I misread the title and thought you posted "Alfy Day" and was expecting a gallery of photochops made by Alfy.

I've taken 5/B a lot wider than you in that picture. hahaha even without an instructor barking in my ear =)


I'm waiting to see the pictures Rx-8 Putih took. He's a much better photographer than me and I think he's got better pictures of the flames than what I got.
