Today's Shredfest gave more opportunities for some more unusual photos...

Shredding bands were part of all the action along with the shredding skaters and bikers.

Here's a scene you don't see everyday:

Got these shots today after tearing up the track at Grand Sport Speedway for their Open House, with IRL being there to test some new drivers...





I hadn't thought of car racing pictures as being eccentric before seeing that other track photo posted here. Well an 8 next to an Indy car is certainly unusual if not eccentric!


_________
edit: fixed the name of the track

CS, after the racetrack action today I went down to the airshow in Galveston and found a live Hurricane. Too bad they didn't let me close enough for a photo op with my 8!

In case anyone was interested in the Air Force One scene, here are some pics (couldn't get my 8 past the attack dog!). It was a perfect opportunity to exercise the amazing power of my superzoom Olympus SP-550UZ...

Here's a better contrast of the spectacular range of this camera's lens:

HIX8, your pictures will show up on the board if you add the tags [IMG] at the front and [/IMG] at the back of each picture link.

There aren't any 8s in those pictures, so I decided to just leave them as links. I actually did have an opportunity to park closer to the fence and I could have gotten a photo of my 8 with Air Force One in the background, but if I had taken the time to do that then I would have missed a bunch of other photos with the astronauts.

Thanks. I'm always on the lookout for something different to keep it interesting. I'll be back at the track today with the Indy cars. Hopefully I'll get more to post.

It was a glorious week at the racetrack. A perfect opportunity to get some crazy fun pictures of my 8 with the ChampCars. By a bizarre coincidence, one of the cars was painted in "winning" blue, bearing the number 8 no less... Get a load of this!
