UK South-East Tripod Police Fugitive's Thread (2)

It's the reculver towers between Margate and Herne Bay.
They are 12th-century towers of a ruined church in the remains of an Roman 'Saxon Shore' fort and a Saxon monastery.

Found it hard to get decent expoed shots as the sun was low in the sky and very bright, either the sky or the towers were ok but never both .
Not my usual sort of photography usually more motorsports but trying different things in the off season

Time to start playing with blending multiple exposures for HDR I think

You'll fit right in if you're into motosports. Lots of folks here are always out taking shots of cars/bikes/etc

Mainly do motorbike racing as and when I can get to the tracks, can be difficult due to my home location i.e closer to france than most tracks!!!
Here is my present lowly steed.

Nice shot. Like the windsock in the background as a compliment.

Isn't Brands and Lydden Hill in Kent? Had great times there before.

What times did you manage on a good day there?

My Escort on its last legs made it in 19 seconds Bearing in mind the boot was full of audio and a 1.4 block.

best time so far is 14.2 1/4mile

with the same IE full sound off stereo and car not setup needs mapping and suspension setting up

plus i dint have a LSD so running on 1 wheel drive so lots of spinning lol

would like to getting to low 13s/high12s but need to sort traction and launch control and r888 tries and a few other things

Ill have to head down to see the results.

Mine was all stock. Wish I still had it but too much wrong with it. Would like to run again but will have to source another car. A Corrado would be fun down there.

Nice toy then, a mate of mine does 14.2 in an Ibiza 1.9TDi

Why dont we do this, organise a day at the Pod when it opens on a RWYB day?

Think it was £12 per car last time I went. Might have gone up and that way, we should get some fun snaps for the day. Those days are usually quiet and we could use the spectator stands for photos.

RWYB are always awesome, I'll see when my mate is heading up next with the Old Skool Ford lot, they have some seriously quick cars!!

Sweet. Just checked their site, opening day is Jan 18th but Peak performer day starts in April.
