August 14-15th, 2010
NASA-GL, Mid-Ohio


All in all this was a really tough weekend for me. I had an unbelievable amount of trouble just getting to the event (I may or may not recap) but with the help of friends I persevered. This was a fantastic track and I am so very glad I was able to track there. The track itself is very challenging, but very fun. It was truly an opportunity to get out there on such a prestigious track.


Shots will be in chronological order...

Looks great guys!

No, that was the pure nastiness of the car. This is the event that has made me want to convert the car to a 98' front end.

I requested either 3 or 5. They keep giving me 563

[coolhandluke]

I requested 208 and got 208.

The vinyl would have kept brake dust from sticking to the blue tape and rusting. :sigh:

You didn't catch the "I requested the numbers 3 and 5" reference

It's a good thing you're not coming to vir friday, I saw two guys fighting over who gets 208 on the trackdaze forum. Is there significance to that number that I don't realize?

[Doespike]

I just got 309 by chance...

Glad I dun have the rusting brake dust problem anymore That isht was a PITA to clean..

Oh I caught it.

No significance to 208. It was my E10 number so I just ran with it.

[Little_Nolan]

Looks like a fun time guys


Coolhand what shifter extender is that??

[coolhandluke]

Bingo!

Jeff, do you have a high res of the "Full Retard" picture?

[98spec022]

750x574 is the biggest i have, let me know if you want it.

or are you referring to the raw photo, without the posterization? if so i have that in high rez

[coolhandluke]

Yes please. I have had some requests.

[coolhandluke]

Whatever happened to the link of the photographer? Did anyone order images/prints? I'm slacking....

[itrsteez]

Nobody ever ordered anything... actually I wouldn't mind sending erik's hardparker pic to get blown up.

[Erik95LS]

That wold be cool. I wouldn't mind a printed version either.

[Doespike]

Here's the link to the photographer.
I've been meaning to order a couple prints...just haven't yet.

[coolhandluke]

Yeah there are several great shots in there.

[itrsteez]

Yeah I definitely planned on getting at least a couple since he took the time to arrange the integra squadron gallery

Erik, do you have the hardparker shot that has the tighter framing in high res still?

24x36" print for $44, ballin, or I wouldn't mind getting it printed on one of these

yeah, I've got everything. (I never delete photos and have 4-5 external HDs full of back ups with every photo I've taken since the dawn of teh digital age) Let me know which ones you want and I'll get you the full version to do what you please with.

[itrsteez]

I'd have to look at my own shot I have of the 5 cars, but if I recall correctly I liked yours much more.
