Terry,

Good ones; thanks ! I think you need a stiffer suspension judging from the car's setup at some of the turns especially that one at the "safety pin".

See you at Homestead, Juan

No doubt about it! It's a very heavy car - at 3,200lbs you figure it's going to roll a lot.
I wouldn't mind bolting a PSS-9 under there. But them a strange voice in my head says, "Get a grip Terry, it's a 4wd convertible. It's never going to be a race car"

Now that you're a card-carrying member of the three-wheel club (with photographic proof) isn't it time you changed your avatar?

Hey Terry, are the photos from one of the photo track services?
they do look pretty good.

I think you'll need to hit a curb to lift 3 wheels in that girl...

looking forward to hmstd.

check this one out, pretty small contact patch on the LF rear... say 2.25 wheels?

Yup - those photos are the work of Henry at "ColourTech South".
<PLUG>He does a great job! ...especially at the two day events - you get a ton of photos for your $ and from all around the track.</PLUG>

Here's my membership photo for the three wheel club!

That was shot at turn 17 during the 48 Hours event in February

Notice, the tiny marble of rubber under the right front wheel that launches me into the air.
I have had two-wheels in the air - but not because of my talent. It was because I did something stupid like early apex 5 and went flying over the curbing Ask Dan, he had a front row seat for that one! (If he could see through the cloud of dust I kicked up)

See you at Homestead

"Notice, the tiny marble of rubber under the right front wheel that launches me into the air. "

YEAH, that must have been it! LOL!


I'm going to have to pick up the cd from ColourTech South...

this looks like a much better deal then the "V.I." nasa uses. (or the guy often at moroso... J.J.)

in years past, both these vendors prints were grainy. (digital 8x10 prints)

V.I. said he upgraded his equipment, but you still dont own an original..
(no file, just a print)


ps: Nice tape job!

Terry:
Fun pictures. Neat how you caught that blue car in the last few shots
I need to learn how to insert photos, vedios, etc. I am working on getting you my in car spining at Sebring and the video from the car behind. Might be fun to see both angles. See all at Homestead. Going to do NASA July 12, 2005 with Dark Helmit & Mitch.

Yeah Boyd I waited for him in the braking zone in seven. He caught up to me REAL fast there. Gotta love them BIG REDS!

Finally got a plug in there for Henry and the crew at "Colour Tech South"
Find them at the track or call 407.325.2520
If you have done a PCA or PBOC event in So. Fla. in the last year or so they probably have a bunch of photos of your car. As Terry said each CD includes a series of photos during a lap around the track, very cool.
MAJOR PLUG these are good people I would like to see them make it.

Cool Avatar Dan - I haven't been so excited about the three wheels since I got off my Big Wheel!
