Got there just in time for the last 45 minute practice run today: wandered around, made a few connections, had dinner with a team, and now prepping for the next few days of pics...

Never seen an SLR 722 in non Silver. Great idea to have it in Speed GT.

Great pics as always. :goodjob:

Added a few pics from today! Thursday I only pulled the camera out for about a dozen shots around 9pm and attached one of them.



Great shots, Jason.

What lens are you using?Those were all shot with the 300mm f/4.0

I picked up the 200mm f/2.0 this morning and a 2x extender, that's what all of todays pics I posted were shot with making it a 400mm f/4.0.

That SLR has the best exhaust I've ever heard. There was no mistaking that car for any of the others.

It sounded like God farting thunder.

It sounded like God farting thunder.I thought the Vette's had the best sound award going until the SLR went by. Words can't describe it, but you were close.

I wanted that black TSX to blow up, I was tired of hearing it lol! It irritated me as much as a straight piped rotary. :tongue:

No doubt.

BTW: Were you wearing an orange shirt and and an F-ing huge backpack (I assume for all the camera equip) on yesterday? I thought I saw you walking but it's been awhile since I've seen you and I had been drinking since 11.



P.S. I would like to put in a request for one of your epic pics of a Flying Lizard car.
