Just got the photos from my first DE at Road Atlanta. The shots taken in the rain are amazing.

It was a blast.

dude those ROCK!!



so 2 q's
how wet was it in the back seat after the runs and how did you dry it out
what class
who took the pics
are you singing up for the "next one"
are you moving up one level or staying in the same class (we have A-B-C-D class)


thats 2 questions right

looking great, love the pics!

Wow......that 3rd pic is awesome. Sound like you have been bitten by the bug!

Very Nice!

Awesome pics! Thanks for sharing. Looks like you had a blast.

My race last year at Road Atlanta was in the rain. Most fun I have ever had in a race car. Coming through T12 at speed in the rain separates the men from the boys

Soooo, I think that's 4 q's, but, who's counting

1. Surprisingly, that back seat was not near as wet as I thought it would be and dried out pretty quickly.
2. First DE, so I was a Class 1 driver (did "graduate" to 2 for the next event)
3. Pics were taken by Colour Tech South - apparently they show up at a host of events around the SE and are great to work with (~$50 for about 40 shots or so) - www.colourtechsouth.com
4. Will defintely do it again. It really is amazing learning that the car has much more capability than this driver!

Going under the bridge and entering a blind 12 in any condition seperates the men from the boys in my book!

How about this for a T12 "code brown"

fyi...my engineer knocked my camera out of alignment before the session so the angle is a little screwy but you definitely get the idea

Thanks!
my thoought was that I would most likely move up one level after the first event (since I have about 15 days in at the other track) and the next event has openings in the D class, but not C so I wasnt sure i wanted to sign up just yet... my event is this Sat... I am like a kid waiting for Santa... so freeking excited!!

nice save Dell !!

The opening frame says it all though. You have to have TOTAL faith setting up for the turn.

BTW, amazing save coming out of the turn! ...loose it either right or left there and its gonna hurt - nothing but concrete wall.

We lost about a dozen cars that morning in the wall going through T12 in the rain. I thought for sure I bought the farm. Wallet self preservation has a funny way of taking over in a situation like that

Great pictures!

Nice save LVDell!

What track do you guys run? I'm assuming something in the Seattle area?

Also, will this be your first DE in the new car? Am really interested to hear your comments about the differences in handling and horsepower.

ivangene

yes, its called pacific raceways

first time in the 86 and I ave not had time to toss it around yet so I am a little timid going in...plus its stock with much larger sidewall tires, smaller brakes, no ABS, no power steering on and on...

Awesome. The C4S rocks on track, especially in the rain!

I'd like to hear your thoughts on how it went relative to your expectations for your first event.
