The drifting oopsie
(pages 11 & 12 of the album link above)
Nice form to start


Things begin to go wrong


Not the place to be point the wrong way in the middle of a spin


Styrofoam goes flying


And there goes the stairs


More chaos




The aftermath

 

i hope Janna will post some of her pics. she said she got some of that crash too.

 

Sweet pics! Any vids?

 

i didn't get any vids, i think G-Rex might have some. i'm not sure if anyone else got any vids.

 

That always happens to cop cars.

That wasn't the one from So. Calf was it? The RX 7 at Seven Stock X.

 

nice photo work...

 

I took about 5-10 minutes of video, but nothing I felt impressed with. I still need to review it though.

 

EFF, why didn't I go to this?? Nice shots. Nice cars, gorgeous track.

 

its not a 7, its a mitsubishi starion.

 

I got some pics on my DSLR but I didn't have the video camera with me. You got better shots than me anyway. Your pics of the styrofoam flying are awesome!
The car was a Starion and the light bar was working and on for the run. It was still working after the run, unlike the car. There was an FC in the drift event, but it had a 302 in it and broke early on anyway.

 

GT Live was great. Had tons of fun camping and hanging out with everyone. A few things could be improved, but overall I think everyone had fun. Karting was . Sunday was HOT (as in oven)! Nice photos everyone. Here are some of mine.

The entire album is here (including commentary by yours truly).

^^ No fair. You guys aren't allowed to take group shots after I have to leave . Very nice shots though .

 

Man did I have a great time!!! Awesome pics every1...Wish I could've met all of you all...+1 on the Karts

 

we almost had the whole RX8 color spectrum.

 

make that +2. i sure woulda liked to race with Tarzan.

 

BTW, Bobby, until you posted your pics, I had no idea that you were MrThundercleese. Thanks for getting the word out to everyone!

 

Man i completely forgot about this event...... Looks like alot of fun though.

 

haha yep it's me. Faces to names, always a good deal.

 

found some video's of the 1st and 2nd place drift winners. i was actually very impressed with both of these. they are worth a look.
