Another side benefit is that the wife doesn't like to drive it...cause it tramlines like crazy..and it is too rough for her

My car is my daily-driver...and as you can see, I don't have any suspension mods (yet!)

Thanks guys!
Thanks - A friend who had JUST got his new DSLR. I sold him three of my lenses (met him at the track for the exchange).
Oh - and I had TWO people there taking pics! hehe

nice pics dmp, tell your friend he done good, I too like the one you made into your desktop, from trying, i know it is hard to get the pictures to look like that, takes a good eay, and quick reflexes.

Thanks La8 - I'll pass along this thread so he see's your comments.
Attached are pics from my OTHER friend (rx8club member dv/dt) who was taking pics during the event. You'll see he's got a few GREAT shots of rx8club member dannobre.
I'll have a lot more as the guys get to sorting out their literally HUNDREDS of pics.

is there any post processing, such as photoshop on these, other than adding the border. the first two in the above post, almost have an antiqued finsih to them, almost as if they had been glazed, and then cleaned. very cool stuff.

More from dv/dt - visit his Flickr site for more pics of the event - he's got a TON of good pics (not just of this event, but of other junk)
Me vs. Escort Cosworth and P-Car -
I could brake much later, generally, than the escort, which kept me ahead of him. He said he was bumped to about 300hp. Terrific car, btw, that 'Coz.
