I signed both Silke and I up for the "Hyperdrive" event held by NASA at the track (Infineon) today.

Beforehand, I was out shooting some photos of the groups out there, and found that I got a few good ones. I was experimenting with the continuous mode/slow and came up with a nice little series of photos that I placed into a gif...

 

That's pretty awesome

 

thats a really cool idea, really nice pictures as well

My pics from Laguna, same day.

 

awesome.

thats why portable pro cameras cost $3000+ because they can take pictures like this at 30fps!

 

Great animated gif shot!

 

hope the forester worked out for you!

I was up on the karting track helpin out a friend who was helping out another friend, thought I saw some subies running the track.

 

Anyone know the owner of a white subaru (probably sti) with orange numbers, some kind of bumper I have never seen, roof vent and a big wing? It was running today in HPDE.

 

Did it have green wheels? He was pitted right next to me, dunno who he was but yeah he had quite a bit of money into his car and was running hpde 3

I was out yesterday, unfortunately not a good day. First time at infineon so I ran group 1 with an instructor to learn the line

In my third session my *** got tagged by a miata in 11s braking zone :damnit:

But yeah, I saw the 2 foresters pitted during the hyper drive. Did that session get cut short? I know they had to do something to that session cleaning up the oil that got put onto the track

blueblur, do you know if the orange miata who one the spec race got contested? I saw his car in tech/impound post race.

 

It worked out for her! Nearly 250WHP, and over 310TQ at the wheels.. It worked out that she was laying the smackdown on a 5-series E39... although whenever they got to the corners, I was right up their * coming in faster and hotter...just to have them pull away on the straights.

 

Yeah, my D300 with the f2.8 70-200mm Nikkor VR beginner lens mounted to the Manfrotto tripod setup, and the MBD-10 battery pack can only handle ~10fps . . . but that's plenty fast enough for me.

 

Let me look through Aperture, and find a few Miata pics from Saturday. I think I have a few.



As Kermit would say, "It ain't easy being green".



A couple of white ones followed by the rotary-powered RX-7.



Well, I guess understeer was well-defined here. The front bumper hit the tire guards, bounced into the wall, and that was the end of his track day. All before noon.

 

I thought it had orange wheels, but maybe it just had orange vinyl or something. That is probably him though. He was way off the line, but the car had a ton of power so he was still pulling on people.

As far as I know Randy Evans (orange Miata) still won both races. You get pulled into impound no matter what after the races so that doesn't necessarily mean you did something wrong.
