Default Great Track Photo

The Colour Tech South guys (here is a plug for you Henry) were at the Chin event this weekend at Rd ATL. They have started giving a DVD with one or two pics of each of the instructors to the instructors as a thank you for suggesting that their students purchase a disc with their photos. I grabbed it on the way out today - before the downpour began - and to my pleasure the following pic was included. I thought this was the best pic of my car in action that I had seen.

I'm assuming that this was going over the rumble strips at T3, but not sure.

Thanks Henry. Z

I have many pictures of me at Sebring. Henry and his wife do an awesome job! Henry is a very talented photographer.

Colour Tech South rocks. I have purchased their pictures basically at every opportunity and I don't always (usually don't?) buy from the track photogs.

This particularly pic could use help, perhaps a faster shutter speed was needed (a bit out of focus/blurry).

I like the blur in the trees and wheels. the car looks clear to me. that is what makes the picture have some character. So often racing pics look like you are standing still. Z

You don't want the car blurry, just the wheels and background. Here are two Colour Tech South pics:

Zmann;Great picture! Just e-mailed Henry to ask for pics, I forgot to grab the CD in the rush to get the cars in the trailer when the clouds burst.

What an awesome track!

I noticed your Traqmat, what was your best time there?
I looked at your car, very Nice! What was done to your car besides the Motons?

I had no chance to stay with you, but I am sure lack of talent on my side had more to do with that than the Motons.

My best lap was a 1:373: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3hutjAiqi8
Just wondering what is quick in a GT3 on Hoosiers at Road ATL.

Trakcar, saw your car there. always liked the 3 in white.

The Motons were new and the tires were old on Saturday, which was a mistake, as we couldn't get it dialed in. Ran slow all day. Put the new R6s on Sunday morning and quickly ran a 1:35.9. I was pacing faster than that on my last lap, but came in to check tire temps and pressures. We never even made an adjustment to the Motons before the rain started, so there is still improvement to be had.

Other than the Motons and tires, the other improvements are (all RSS parts): aluminum thrust arm bushings, steel lower control arm monoballs, adjustable toe steer kit, adjustable rear link kit.

What are you running? if you are stock, that is one heck of a lap time. Z
