Default More photos of the action @ Grattan Raceway!

Here are a few "action" shots taken by a professional photog @ Grattan. As you can tell, this was FUN!!!

Turn 3, down/uphill, off camber, pucker-inducing, even though the speed isn't all that high!

Mid-corner close up - check the abuse those tires are taking!!!

2 shots of the downhill run between Turns 4 and 5.

There's a hill to crest just before turn 5, and you have to tap the brakes to settle the car before the hill, or it gets real interesting, real fast!! ;-)

(Oh, and BTW - I've requested the number 88 for all my track events from now on. That way, when I go off the track and flip, it'll be REAL easy to see who the idiot was who flipped!!!! ;-) )

Wow. That downhill looks flip-worthy! Luckily your roof fin provides downforce!

Default "Roof fin??" Ahem - it's a "sunroof wind deflector" - can't you read my sig??? ;-)

THIS is a roof fin, and will be my next mod (sure to add 0.2g to my max cornering power, and aid high-speed stability to boot):
