Nice shots Brad.
Please tell me that is not a section of rain gutter being used as the air intake?? :-|
Sweet lookin' Alfa. I think the Volvo is my favorite shot though.

I kind of wish I went to this event instead of IRL (with only 3 race groups on Sun).

Nicely done Brad. Like the low angles and rich colors.

Thanks, Jeff
Yes....that is a rain gutter/air intake.
Got to admire their ingenuity, I guess....that and the fact they even run that car!
But they're having fun. That's for sure.

I saw the Volvo lifting the front inside wheel, but never noticed *both* inside wheels off the ground 'till I went through the shots.
And yes, these SCCA events are always eclectic. I didn't include the two or three other classes that were running.

Thanks, Skip.
As monotonous as the angles are, I never get tired of seeing the cars come up over the hill at Turn 2, leaned over to the outside of the turn.
Glad you like them.

Great stuff! Thanks for point out the rain gutter air-intake, I would have missed that. Priceless.
