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: ![http://www.phillprice.com/IMG_1036-large.jpg](http://www.phillprice.com/IMG_1036-large.jpg) ![http://www.boostcruising.com/database/genthumbs.php?image=perfcars/files/Mcleod20050511191855perfcar6.jpeg&w=960&h=720](http://www.boostcruising.com/database/genthumbs.php?image=perfcars/files/Mcleod20050511191855perfcar6.jpeg&w=960&h=720) ![](http://www.7extrememotorsports.com/lemans/cars/bmw-m3-gtr-12.JPG) ![http://static.guim.co.uk/Guardian/sport/gallery/2008/jun/16/motorsports/le-mans2-2672.jpg](http://static.guim.co.uk/Guardian/sport/gallery/2008/jun/16/motorsports/le-mans2-2672.jpg) ![http://www.lmp-engineering.de/cms/upload/bildgalerie/0682a.jpg](http://www.lmp-engineering.de/cms/upload/bildgalerie/0682a.jpg) Carry on :smile ---

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 ---
