Ahem..........images?

TedDBere · 11-20-2008, 04:35 PM

I don't have any pictures of me hitting cones, but I've got this great one of Jerry ignoring his cone damage and going for FTD:

I do have one of me missing a cone...probably the worst turn ever:

If you were exarkun, you'd spin out and start driving the other half of the course.

Surferjer · 11-20-2008, 06:23 PM

I love that shot, Scott! I center punched a cone, and my daughter is in the car going "Ahhh, Dad?" and I'm like "Shut up, Jess, I KNOW!"

Here's a near miss, at (of all places) NNJR circa 2005:

RacyTracy · 11-20-2008, 07:29 PM

Not me driving, just pictures I've taken.....

RacyTracy · 11-20-2008, 07:32 PM

And the perils of setting them back up.....

Clean run!

jimmyhoffa · 11-21-2008, 05:52 AM

Here's one of me showing a cone with amazing balance.

Surferjer · 11-21-2008, 06:18 AM

That's a great shot!

Thanks, my wife took it and made fun of me afterwards...

slaughtr · 11-21-2008, 07:23 AM

A couple of mine.

The first one is the run right after an "off-course excursion" into the weeds.

Note that was before I even had my license plate for the new car.

jim-clayton · 11-21-2008, 12:04 PM

A run with Adven tires. I hit a cone at the end, after a spin and a near spin.

Cool

Chasecam?

jim-clayton · 11-21-2008, 02:45 PM

Yes ChaseCam. The original quality is much better. I posted a compressed
email size file to youtube. Too lazy to find and post the original.

DaCrema · 11-22-2008, 12:02 PM

I might have a couple... (D-70 with (rented) Nikkor 70-200 f 2.8)

thought about sending this one to the SCCA for a spot on a calander but its not really that great a pic. Great workers, not a great pic.

a nicer day (D-70 with Sigma 120-300 f 2.8)

RacyTracy · 11-22-2008, 12:18 PM

Am I missing the hit cones???

DaCrema · 11-22-2008, 12:20 PM

a couple more rain shots. Not Lotus (I got there to late, or SS did not run, they had to stop the event due to a tornado watch in the area). I love driving in bad weather and taking pictures of the same (after posting that comment the WDCR folks are likely not to allow me back.)

John Stimson · 11-25-2008, 03:37 PM

Captured on Sunday in Oakland, California:

LarryB · 11-25-2008, 03:56 PM

I've got some, from several years of GGLC club autox events. I'll try to dig them up and post a few.

edit- Here are the cone killer shots-
