its not really racing, more a burnout comp crossed with a tarmac rally
or automotive dressage
glad to hear you enjoyed it

Nice shots. Colors seem a little flat to me though. Any PP on these?

yep, raws processed using DPP, +1 contrast and colour
i have seen another photographer's from the same event and i feel that his are oversaturated, it may be my monitor vs yours though (mine isnt calibrated)

my best one from the V8's expo.
cheers

nice shot of lance (and a little bit of kizza)
was this taken over the back of the hill ?

Nah Ben ..
taken from our front row seats of the main straight grandstand..coming out of Ford fast break corner..
Julie and I were trying to workout where yours were taken from as one of them has grandstands in the b/g but they might be from the go kart track??
cheers John

after trying to explain it i decided to hit google earth and draw a picture, hope its clear enough
the line near each number shows where the camera was pointing when the photo was taken
Ford corner is in the bottom left of the screen, Cat the top left and the main straight is to the left side
Drift events generally use the short course, except for the demos during large events like the V8s

can I ask what camera and lens you used? I drift over here and was going to get into photoing my mates when I am not driving.
