This was my first time at a road course event and I don't think it could have been better. One of my friends called me up and said he had $200 tickets for me and a friend. It was so awesome getting to talk to the crews. Taz Harvey is an extremely cool guy and is very down to earth. He even invited me to come back later so I could sit in the car. He left before I got back which was a bummer but I got him to sign under my armrest. Peter Cunningham was very cool as well but you can tell he's a big dog. I kinda interrupted him while he was eating but he was still very cool and signed my spark plug cover.

I talked to them about the RSX and they said on the straits it is faster than the old Type-R's but it seems as if the old ones are still quicker through the corners. They said it felt really good and the just have to find the right balance and it should be quicker everywhere. Overall they seemed very enthusaistic about it.

The Petite Lemans was incredible and I stayed for all 10 hours. These things are just amazing at full scream and are even faster in person. Some of these shot were from very close up in an area I wasn't supposed to be but they are great shots. I seriously could have almost reached down and given the drivers high fives. I will be posting more pics as I get them uploaded.


Before the first race.




Pic of some stupid rice Honda taking up space in the RealTime tent.


See this shot. Yeah I wasn't supposed to be that close. You can't imagine what that was like seeing it come at me like that.


When I said give him a high five I wasn't joking.


More on the way.

 

C5-R down the back strait.


See those R8's? In about 2 seconds they are going to put about 10 car lengths on the 550 in front of them.


360 drafting a 911 on the back strait.

Derek Bell is an amazing guy to be able to race and talk at the same time
