Thanks Kirby! I've been admiring your shots here for a long time.

I wasn't happy with the action photos I had of cars last year and decided to really slow down the shutter speeds for this event.

Next stop for me will be Lime Rock Park on 4/26 and the PCA Club race.

Awesome pics man, any front or rear shots you got? You have skills

BTW I can't believe the rear squat under acceleration, time to fully rework my setup once again (and it's only been 3 weeks :|)

Here ya go. They're not as sharp as the others, but what the hey, the car still looks good.









The whole gallery so far is here:

Send me a PM if you want a full res copy of any photo of your car. The ones you see here have been downsized and saved for the web, not the best quality.

Nice work guys.

...and Martin, if you had less horsepower, you'd be a lot flatter through those turns!

Oh, and this pic REALLY makes me want a vintage 911 again...

Emil you are probably right LOL... Although when D was driving my car, I swear by the eye y car looked flat as a board through the course, only in pic's can you see this weird, the exige s in stock form looked like it had more roll through the turns! Ah well, car's going in for another re-working ALSO these tires especially my 335 R888's in the rear generate so much damn grip, it wants to rip the body off the chassis

Hey Larry,

Were you in the 2nd run group of the morning? I was running out of space on my flash card by then but let me check if I have any photos of your car tonight.

I'll probably be out there at Tobay again on 4/13 after seeing the Exotic Rally cars off in the morning. I think Metro PCA is having another AutoX that day.

If there are any special requests, let me know your car number now! I'm still tinkering with my camera settings and may try a different lens next time.
