D42 Track Day Pics

Recommended Posts

Thank you all for the kind words! I used yesterday as a test day for a few new things I want to try. The high angle shots turned out pretty good and will be a good reference for what I want to do next year at track days :)

 

I need to do some research on a better lens combo and maybe invest in some lessons. Right now I am just using very basic training that Tim gave me and my lack of fear for getting close for shots.

 

It is really cool to see everyone enjoy the pictures I get to take. This photo and video stuff has driven my car addiction to an unhealthy level :p

Thanks Brian.

 

I was just about to ask if that was your car, that looks like one hell of a launch. You got that front end up pretty good.

What did you run?

 

12.90@106.00 1.76 60ft. Damn STI 6sp tranny makes me get into 5th around the 1000 ft mark, otherwise it would be a bit faster I think.

 

I even had shit in the trunk and child car seats in the back. Ran it on pump gas just like I daily drive it and haul the rug rats around town.

Here is a video that Brady@ppc shot for me!

 

Watch when I start my burnout the chunk of rubber that hits the wall. It popped the D/S marker light out and cracked it, popped the bumper off and cracked the piece of plastic that the bumper snaps to. At the finish line you could hear a burp of the throttle, I was running out of fuel. lol This is the same day that I ran 11.03@129.52mph with at 1.60 60'

 

Not sure what I ran on this pass, but it wasn't good. I spun off the line and was running out of fuel at the finish line. The digital read out said "16 miles until emty" I forgot that I didn't have a fuel cell with a sponge in it to keep the fuel from sloshing around. I was sucking air in the fuel lines.

 

As you can tell my car doesn't squat in the rear. I need to change to a differant spring in the rear. I currently have a QA1 14" 250lb spring in there (to stiff) my shocks are 1 click from fully soft (12 clicks total)

 

This is the same pass that anthony ran up and unplugged the marker light and threw it in the back seat (video edited out)

 

Thx Brady for shooting this for me! Sorry guys it wasn't my best pass of the day.
