I got there late around 3:30 so those were the last session pics, sorry there aren't more.

The camera is a Canon G6.

The weather was beautiful, about 75-80 degrees no wind perfect riding weather.

Its not the full track just the east portion, I forget exactly how long it is but he hung in there alright.

Great article:

Sure, if you're a pro driver you're good enough to elicit every ounce of performance from a car and will be limited by its performance, but if you're like most people the car, camera, running shoes or whatever have little to nothing to do with your performance since you are always the defining factor, not the tools.

Sweet I don't think anyone has ever used one of my pics as a background before, thank you.

For some reason I really like the one of the guy doing the wheelie on the fiddy. I have no clue why.

It looks kinda old school. It's looks like the shutter speed was a bit slower for that pic than most the others so you get that grainy effect. I bet it would look pretty cool converted to greyscale.

Great photos. After I get some practice hopefully I'll be posting some pics like yours.

Here's another booger shot, this from my 6mp canon.

Right click, save as, no 56k...

Can you taste it?

Nah I just do it for fun, I'll give originals out to anyone that asks from the trackdays free of charge it doesn't really matter to me.
