Ok, I broke all the rules of the thread (One pic per post) but just figured I'd toss a few out to get it going again Jeff

I have too many of Mark's C6Z that I really like to choose one so I will go with this one: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2592/3858733387_0f06c0e2d2_b.jpg

Not him then lol

It *Might* be a good client's car over there. He duplicated the YSi build we did here (Chris' Black Z06) and ended up making around the same power (850-900rwhp). He was pushing hard to make the race so I will have to shoot him the link and see if that is him. Jeff

If you are going to Michigan I would go here: http://livernoismotorsports.com/

The black-bird was pulling on him pretty easily

None of them are terribly sharp but I wasn't expecting them to fly by so it was kind of a point and hold the button down for a few seconds lol http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2077/5793019743_391dfc753e_z.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3598/5793020111_e40e9b4846_z.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3365/5793020463_7a538b7beb_z.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2536/5793581050_bc4874d1b2_z.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2560/5793021133_0a8b4df732_z.jpg http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5144/5793581704_95b87f46b2_z.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3122/5793581932_ac6d03f8cf_z.jpg http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5070/5793582202_14001d3141_z.jpg http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5262/5793022111_ed000147e6_z.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2493/5793022461_6c52323539_z.jpg

And then you still have to pay someone to carry it around for you lol.

If I am not taking pics of cars / shop-stuff or my son I am usually trying to shoot the birds / deer / turkeys / etc running around my house. I would vote for a general "Nature" section maybe. Just my 2 cents.. Jeff

I take 99% of "Shop" pics with a little Canon SX130 IS and it does its job ok. The rest of the time I still use a 40D or XSi with a few different lenses: Tokina 11-16/2.8 Canon 15-85 IS Canon 50/1.8 Canon 70-200/4 IS Canon 100/2.8 Macro Canon 100-400 IS I would like to upgrade to a 7D soon but haven't pulled the trigger yet. Jeff

What 800mm do you have? Even the Sigma is some coin but just curious Jeff

We can do it for you. I don't have tech's here (Outside of tuning) on Saturday's often but it can be arranged. I think we are closer to $390 normally but I can do it for $350 as a "CR" discount for you. Let me know, Jeff

On the Canon I would get the 15-85 IS as a "Walk-around" lens. Pick up a used 430ex since that lens is a *Little* slow and you have a better combo then pricey 17-55/2.8 IS -- IMO. 50 is a bit long on a crop -- unless you are just going for creative / DOF images. Great for low-light though The 1.8 50mm is stupid cheap though so I'd get one regardless... Jeff

No flash -- just 15 seconds worth of tweaking each Jeff

I didn't take many but here are a few I got off the camera thus far: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3485/5717293155_55d2f290ac_z.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3648/5717858120_b887138a16_z.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2128/5717298249_350b0f6355_z.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2428/5717297163_91292003ab_z.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2779/5717295567_b4fd1b954a_z.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3659/5717860624_ca537e6c54_z.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/5717858940_8c0ca75637_z.jpg

I think this *Might* be the pass to beat: Nope, he goes 7.52 here: EDIT: This is the fastest pass I found by Boost Logic:

I *Think* it is like 7.5x by a Twin-88mm Viper but don't quote me (I haven't looked it up in awhile). There are a few Supra's in the 7.6-7.7 range as well so we are getting there Just wish we would have had that pass in the Finals a few weeks ago... Jeff

Just got a call that Mark just went 7.75 @ 183.xx on his first pass in Milan (MI) today. We are inching closer and closer to that all-IRS record!! Hope the rain holds off and we have a chance to make a few more passes before the day is over Got news today as well that the new ERL engine / intake / tb will be done next week (Finally) so I can't week until the boost can get turned up, Jeff

Scroll to the 4:55 mark for footage or Mark & Ray (Drag Radial class).

We re-did the rear brake set-up on the car the week before the race and didn't have time to re-set the pedal position sensor. It's an easy fix so it will be all back to normal for the next event Jeff

For those that didn't see it in pics/vids here is the 7-second pass:
