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

That always happens to cop cars.

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

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

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).

Joyce and I


taps.


Waiting for that sentra to get off the track...


Kicking up dirt.


Tarzan on the karts


Seriously... Move over please.. kthx.
