First of all, are there sports racers on track with the production based cars?

Second of all, check the background in the last picture. Woops!

I think that thing is a radical, but I'm not sure. Are they allowed to have open wheel cars on the track at the same time as the other cars?

BTW, we gotta work on your "let's take pictures sideways" thing. That ITR is gorgeous, but my neck hurts from looking at all the pictures diagonally.



Otherwise, looks great. I like the Endless Brakes EG, the copper CRX with the WW style kit, and the RHD ITR.

I don't understand the extreme sideways picture. Head-tilting slants annoy people. Please..... no more sideways pictures.

Even still, thanks for taking the time to photograph, upload and share.

Some more Saturday pics:



If my camera was faster in recording pics I would've captured a spinning Porsche instead of a big dust cloud!


Aftermath:




Probably the fastest car that weekend.


I like this livery.








Unlike other Robin Hoods, this guy can speak with an English accent.


I slept in on Saturday so I don't know what happened to the Team Orange car.


Andy "Import Legend" Hope and RJ de Vera.


Hybrids Racing in the paddock.


Andy and RJ


Mr. Inoue


RX-8


Quick dinner for Andy Hope before the Saturday enduro.


Here's some enduro pics from the ENDLESS/5Zigen pits...

Andy Hope did the first stint.














That's Higashi with the headset on. He was the fuel man for this race.



The first few laps were wet from rain.




This 911 lost it at Bus Stop and gave us some midrace entertainment.


Checking for damage...


ENDLESS/5Zigen team readying for refuelling and driver change.


Despite the helmet, that is not Jean Alesi!


That's Tom Liang in the black hat. He's the driver of the #0 JDMhondaparts.com/Hybrids Racing CRX.


Andy Hope entering the pit box.




Driver change.
















There's Ryan "Conflict of Interests" Flaherty on the right.


3 hours of racing on a wet track requires a nice car wash.




Dinner at Denny's. Mr. Inoue of 5Zigen (left corner of table) bought everyone dinner. I am going to send him all the pics I took during the 2003 season.




My lead (and *****) was (are) this big!


It's past midnight. The Sunday pics will have to wait until tomorrow!
