Hardcore race closeup pics

I want to start a new Pic thread here, race related photos but closeup. Stuff that would suit as an epic desktop background for a given time.

RULES:

-Must be relatively close shots of bad ass race stuff. Specific parts, harness layouts, engine components or exposure. Sick dash layouts, suspension components. Carnage is good too, as long as it follows the rules.
-Must be quality pictures, no hack shit.
-No full car shots anywhere. If you have a car shot with something good you want to crop and post do it up. Just keep the whole photo to yourself.
-Above all else, it must be RACE related. No show/street stuff. If it’s street car turned race that’s fine. Supercar related is bottom line. If it doesn’t seem some sort of track, it doesn’t belong in here. GT, DE, TSD, NHRA/drag, drift. Grass roots stuff is welcome too (calling Tom, anyone seen Tom ;D)

I’ll start us off:

Carry on :smile

Finally a real “badass auto pictures” thread.

:drink

Okay so I’m not sure how youll feel about this adam

but this is a 9 second Z31. It doesnt show the whole car cause the nose is clipped, but none the less its a converted street car and i think this picture looks simple/badd ass

^^^ That is NOT what he’s going for.

not all the best quality, sorry

I know what he means by serious race ready cars

but he also said converted street cars and mentioned drag

so i think that pic qualifies, and its not like OMG, but its a simple picture, simple car and yet soo simply badass, i guess thats because I <3 my platform

I’ve got like 50+ but don’t feel like cropping them, so here are the ones that are close-ups:


^only wheel shot ever to make it to background status for me drool

Looks like you’re doing just fine ;D

And Mike, quality is fine. Just don’t want stuff looking like it was taken by my 2yr old daughter.

MOAR! I suspect there’s only gonna be a smidgen of people here that’ll keep this thread alive.

OMG SAUBER C9!!! Very nice.

Screw it, semi-close up motion shot.
