On to the pics (All Pics taken by my friend Nate R. - Canon Rebel XT + Canon lenses)







STOCK Suspension!!



RX8Club.com member dannobre's NOT stock suspension:





^^ that one at 1600x is my desktop! Thanks Nate!



Balled up!



That's it!

 

NICE pics!!
time to upgrade that suspension!!!

 

I agree Hero - My Coilovers got backordered - won't have them until this week sometime!

 

haha good to hear! looking forward to some newer pics later with less body roll

 

Course, with soft springs, sometimes the car looks SLAMMED hehe

 

Nice pics. Saw the vintage Mitsu 3000GT you were following in one of the shots.

 

That car looks ridiculously like mine Very nice.

 

The Mit's and I played tag all day. He has some upgrades, and water injection..and about 325 HP,AWD.......and about 800lbs more weight.

We were about even....... I lost out a bit in the out of corner torque department...and I out braked and out cornered him a bit

 

Not one, but two silvers were on the track at the same time without any incidents. That's one for the record books.

 

I wish I could install some suspension mods and track my 8, but unfortunately its my daily driver. Maybe one day..

 

We actually weren't on the track at the Same time....so we were safe

It was a good day...but unless I go to California or someplace warm....the track season is over for me locally

March seems like a long way off........

 

Mine's my daily driver........but it's getting kinda bumpy on some of the streets on the way to work. The track time more than makes up for the travel "problems" on the way to work.

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!)


(chanting) THUN-DER-HILL!!! THUN-DER-HILL!!

:D

Great seeing you again today, Dan!

 

they look great bro!

 

Wow, who took the pictures? They are beautiful. I wish I'd had somebody taking nice pictures on my last track day.

 

nice pics.

oh, and people still have 56k? what are they? cavemen?

 

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

 

^^X2.

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.

 

Nice pics!

 

great pics...i have to get a better camera so i can get the sam quality of my fellow rx8 members autocrossing.

 

that first picture is really a good shot, I really like that vantage point, not many places you can get that kind of view of the car.

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.

 

Thanks - (on behalf of the photog) I'm not sure how much Post work he put into them - hopefully he can reply to this and letcha know

:D

 

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.
