That sounds like a really good idea. I think I'm gonna ask my buddy if he'd rather do that.

Thanks to Thunderhill, The Downeys & Jei!

Thanks to Kevin, Aaron, Tim, Seri, Nick, and the guy from Oregon(sorry i forgot your name ) and a few others for showing up and making this such a great event! I was surprised at how smoothly the day went considering it rained for the first 1/3...then was damp... then got super fast & dry.

a HUGE thanks to Tom for being in the COLD WET towers & all over the track shooting 1000s of pics for everyone! and Tom...dont worry about my floor mats...theyll wash out its only mud!

im sooo tired now... i was at the track for 12 hours...and i think the only time i sat was in the morning, @ lunch for about 2 min and then the 2 sessions i actually got out on the track. hahaha i think a shower and my bed are the only things i can think about right now!

I hope everyone who came had a good time and enjoyed lunch!

Thanks to Natalie and Blacktrax for the chance to go on track. It was wonderful

1D MKII + 70-200 2.8L IS.

Simply put, It was meant for this course!
Here's one I just randomly grabbed.


Gooood night! Tomorrow, I'll look at the other 4,000-5,000...

I had tons of fun, and so did my friend. Many thanks to Natalie, the Downeys, Jei and the Thunderhill crew for the event!

My car is so dirty and I don't want to wash it because it looks so loved!

I'm really looking forward to the CD from Tom when he's done sorting through the pictures; he showed me a couple previews of the pictures he took and they were fantastic.
