Got a nice shot on grid of one of the champ cars.
Let’s just say that particular car means a little more to me LOL
The usual first time on the starting grid pic for my dad. LOL
This one seemed to make me Hungry
Good times overall, the sounds and sights were out of this world. Cars taking off out of their pit at 8000 rpm when the have 750hp and weight 1550 lbs is pretty interesting to say the least. I actually was sitting at the “line” where they could go WOT after the “speed restriction” for the pit. Pretty sweet to watch rolling burnouts LOL :tspray:
Also all the action in turn one! Accidents and getting sideways like whoa!!
Anyone else go?

I was there on Friday for the practice/quals X… I took about 50+ pictures.
Too bad about Nicky, Tracy didn’t want to give up that real estate. Crazy crash in the opening lap too, Bourdais was lucky he wasn’t injured seriously.
:edit: it’s Tonis 😉 🙂

I was hoping to find a picture of the pit-wall banner, but I didn’t see one on RSR’s website.

I didn’t take a pic, because I’ll just try to snag one of them at the end of the season. 😉
I was commenting to Jay about how nice those banners were, and that means something, I have a BFA in Design (useless piece of paper) :lol:
Anyway, that’s should score some points for you at work!! LOL

I’m hoping to get to bring a friend and go to the GPoT :tup: 😃 I’ve already mentioned to them that I “don’t want the seat, the food, the concert tickets… just the pit pass” :lol:
we’ll see! I’ll try and post some shots later on if time permits.

I’ve been to the Cleveland race once before. Only big racing event I have ever been to, was a great time. This was back when Zanardi was winning everything.

UB, enjoyed it, would do it again, but there really is no reason to get a degree in Design, all you need is a great portfolio. :gotme: That’s why I consider that “piece of paper” pretty useless.

That’s pretty true for the most part…when I got my job they _knew_ where I went to school but they never asked for any proof that I graduated!

Tracy lightin’ 'em up:
Clean '68 shelby:
I love this shot, as it shows the difference between the two cars… Champ on top, atlantic on bottom. Champ is 1550 lbs. and 750bhp, atlantic is 1400 lbs. and 300bhp - both of those include driver and fuel. an F1 car is 1322.77 lbs and 750bhp.
The infamous banner 😃 There’s four in the paddock and two in the hospitality area.
