Don't forget your helmet.

Fuddruckers. Saying that word used to make my dad start laughing uncontrollably....

MickOpalak · 01-02-2007, 05:17 PM

I'm gonna have to miss it this time. I'll be on my way up to the Detroit Auto Show that day.

chill · 01-14-2007, 03:58 PM

Can RX-7 guys show up?

jtanner · 01-16-2007, 08:23 AM

Sure, if you don't mind us making fun of your overweight pig of a car. ;-)

See you there.

Jim

Great photos!

alexio · 01-23-2007, 07:15 AM

how did you get that effect... I'm assuming photoshop work?

those are masterpieces of automotive photography (or maybe I suck so bad at pics that I'm easily impressed?)

chill · 01-23-2007, 01:36 PM

Nice shots! Thanks.

Which effect are you speaking of?

Yes all of these images have been post-processed in Adobe Photoshop CS2 to bring out their full potential.

Glad to see you guys like them!

If you guys ever want to schedule a photoshoot for your car(s)... shoot me an email at chris.almond@gmail.com ! The first private photoshoot is free! As long as ya take me for a ride in it!

So... who had the fastest lap time of the night? My fastest was a 30.090

. I tried my best to break 30s, but I just kept getting stuck behind the slowskies. However... in the 8 minutes- while everyone else did 11 laps... somehow I managed 13!

See ya around,
-Chris

chill · 01-23-2007, 05:22 PM

The trick to being in the 20's is in how you get through the slow traffic... We found some creative, although perhaps not altogether sanctioned, ways to log some good lap times. I did find that the car works better with 4 tires...

banzai · 01-24-2007, 09:10 AM

Some of us get into the 27's regularly. A lot of it depends on the car and the traffic.

wrh3 · 01-24-2007, 09:29 AM

Looks like a missed out on a fun day, had planned to make both events and my brother's closing got moved up so I got to help him move all weekend (a LOT less fun)
