Someone else took some pics... A few of the black RX8s but I guess the silver one was to quick to be caught on film:

some more of the X runs

kwescott

Here's some more. I have many many more. Lots of them are really small, and if I blow them up, they will be really grainy.

kwescott

Funny you say that...but it was kinda true. You were the first to run, so we had to use you to set up our shots...and many times you blew past the frame before we could get you. Did get a few...but more of your wife, since she ran later and Erica was set by then.

kwescott

we could always photo chop the 6 off and replace it with a 1.

Learned something very valuable today...I call it "the technique". Here's how it works. If you hit a cone early in your run, you go around pointing at all the cones until you find one that is not in the right place. If you are lucky enough to find some lazy course workers, you may just find a misplaced cone, and you'll earn yourself a re-run. One guy actually have 5 re-runs today with this "technique"...very valuable. I don't know if I have enough skill to look at the course and look for misplaced cones. I have a hard enough time avoiding cones at this point

oooohh..........ohhh......you couldn't have hit 75 with nitrous!

kwescott

so, now I can see how a professional photographer looks like....Jason, does this guy come to all the events to sell the photos? I love the quality...what nice equipment can do...

kwescott

...for those who don't know, that's me.

Wow, you guys went off with the picture taking. Did you have to decrease the quality to get them uploaded? I'd be interested in the originals, maybe you could email 'em to me?

I gotta work on the cone pointing deal too. I've seen the Isleys get tons of re-runs with that "technique". BTW, I was the only one driving. My passenger during X runs was "visitor". He only posts stupid stuff that only he thinks is funny, but you can't blame him... he drives a ford ranger with no shocks and rode the short bus to school.

kwescott

So, I'm just wondering if anyone else is interested in doing the runs in San Diego. I purchased the region card so that I can get into the practice events down there now...Jason says they don't fill up as fast at that we would have a good chance of getting in.

kwescott

yes, the quality is cut alot...just send me your email by pm or post it here and I can send the originals to you. I've cropped some, do you have a photo editor program...do you want me to send them original size, or cropped size...or I could send both

"Visitor"...I can tell he rode the short bus from his avatar

kwescott

I think Erica may be interested in taking her car to the next event, since they have a STU "L" class for the ladies.

For the most part both cal club and SD have a semi pro guy that takes pics. Just depends what run group you are in if he gets you or not. From what I can tell he only took pics during heat 3.

kwescott

Yah, Erica said that he wasn't set up at the beginning.

STUL I have heard the ladies in that class asked for a change, they don't like being STUL.

It is a good tool. Just don't blow your rerun. btw this does not work if you get a DNF, if you go off course and find a down cone your are SOL, there are no reruns for a DNF.

visitor

if u ownly nuuu

kwescott

Oh, believe me, I know...it's my occupation. I work with the short bus all week long.

kwescott

Jasons...is there always that many Miatas? Made me think I was watching a "Miatacross"

mp5

Pretty much. Especially when they combine the ES and CS classes into the same run group. The Miata makes a great autox car... awesome handling, and relatively cheap.
