Default Action Shots

I've been using my car as intended by the factory for a couple of years now, this is the first time I've actually had shots of it in motion on track. Thought it was worthy of posting:

That Lancer behind you looks huge in comparison. Nice shots.

I thought the same thing when I saw that shot. The 951 is so small compared to modern cars, that Mitsu might as well be an SUV its so big.

There are 2 options in Edmonton right now. The runways/taxiways at CFB Namao which can be setup to various configurations, that's where the PCA events happen. These shots were taken at Stratotech, a world class cart and formula track just outside Edmonton.

That's why it was behind him.

Hey Chrenan, I hope you weren't boogieing around with that broken arm!

Nice shots and nice looking 951.

I used to have a 2002 Honda Accord coupe. I thought it was small until I sold it and got the 951. The 951 takes up so much less room in the garage.

The arm is cast free but not 100%. Good enough for time attack though not quite ready for judo.

I'd like to tell you I just passed the EVO, but he was actually stalking me and I gave him a point by soon after that picture. Not the 951's fault, with an actual skilled driver at the wheel she'd put up more of a fight.

when i bought my 951, i had a 5th gen (1998) honda prelude as well. i always thought the prelude was small, but i broke out the measuring tape to confirm.

the 951 was 18" shorter overall than the prelude. it's a tiny, but (for the size) beefy vehicle!

great shots, btw!

Great pics....looked like a good day....as for size the Mitsu does look much larger...I'm a festively plump guy(5"9 240) and I use to have a 300zx TT , I think for such a small overall car the interior in the 944T is great....thanks for the Pics

Beautiful shots and the same thought popped into my head about the EVO looking huge compared to the 951.

Default PCA DE RA

A couple from the PCA DE at Road Atlanta.
I admit, they are S2's, but I liked the results.

Need more practice!
