APCh8r Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 find my chicken strips on either tire... seriouslyJess leave it alone, you don't have to prove yourself to anyone. Good job on progressing throughout the weekend. On another note glad to see most members that were at the two different tracks stayed up right. Hopefully everyone had a great time and gets back out there soon. I will hopefully be heading to mid-ohio may 21st and june 1st if things go according to plan. Hope to see some of you up there.

Fonzie Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 I didn't know the DTC was going to be at Mid-O. I was in garage #2 most of Saturday. It was an impromptu ride Chuck & Justin came up with.....Think we started talkin' about it earnestly on Thursdayhttp://dysfunctionaltravelingcircus.freeforums.org/saturday-4-25-t107.htmlWe walked through the pits a couple times lookin' for you guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrincessPratt Posted April 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 hey fonz this is a promotional offer, for OR memers only, all the pics and vids for 30 bucks sight unseen and 8 dollars after today , I think I got a few of pratt today, I cant tell though she was moving so fast it was all a blur!! ( just kidding you could probably out ride my slow ass all day long)but I think I do actually have a few shots of ya!!if ya want the pics just pm me!! 30 bucks and that price is only good today!! LOLBahahahahaha!!!! I'm not afraid to say that I still have chicken strips BUT I did progress quite a bit. My two goals for Sunday were....keeping my lines and learning my body positioning. I think I did a good job with both by the last 3 sessions although I did run over top of the divider in turn one. Scared the crap out of me. I was soooooo slow Monty put me one on one with an instructor all day long Sunday!!! LOL. I've FINALLY realized that when I go faster in the turns it's actually easier to corner and my bike feels less like it's going to fall over. I do have to ask.....Why the heck did nobody tell me to purchase some dri fit gear for under my leathers??? I could barely get my legs up on the foot pegs the first day b/c I was so sweaty/sticky. I stopped at Dicks Sunday morning and bought some Nike dri fit and I was good to go the entire day. I have to check the website to see how many more novice days are available. I NEED to do at least 2 more weekends/4 days whichever is avail! It was soooo nice to meet everyone and I appreciate the support and help of all who pitched in. I'm not fast but at least now I feel safe. And Brian 777 if you're reading this......tears still falling!!!!!!!! FYI, I purchased some pics from the designated guy for STT. I wanted to see how crazy I really do look! hehe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Threw the number 4 rod out of the motor... Toast.The "guy" he was talking to is a great performance tech, as well. Reuben knows more about Zooks, but Tracy isn't a slouch.

Moto-Brian Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 That photographer from STT can fist fuck himself. He has no say in what can/cannot be photographed at that track.That being said, where's all the pics? I thought there were a lot of guys taking pics... Anyone? Post 'em up!

fusion Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 yea he stopped taking pictures after that but he was pissed! ummm what IP said. Those types of assholes need put in their place. If the STT photog doesn't think all his experience and shooting can stand up to us random guys out there shooting, than he needs to pack up his shit and go shoot rocks.

PrincessPratt Posted May 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 That photographer from STT can fist fuck himself. He has no say in what can/cannot be photographed at that track.Well he SHOULD allow others to take pics. He charges a buttload for the pics and I only got like 25 pics....75% are the same shot/corner. I'm NOT happy at all. I had fully intended on utilizing him when I go to bluegrass (hopefully) but now I will not. I got a disc today with 179 pics....25 mine and the rest were random shots of people in there pit. I was very confused (which doesn't take much...). Does anyone else have any GOOD pics of the day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbot Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 (edited) i did get my photos disc but noticed i was missing quite a few pics, so i emailed him with a list. I think I ended up with about 40 or so pics shown on his website (the disc had just under 30 I believe). i also got the "bonus" folders with photos in them.hopefully, he sends the rest. all in all, it was good work, but I kind of thought he would take more pics. what's funny is, on saturday, i hadn't given him a card until end of the day, and on sunday he had my card, but took about 40% less pics. If i heard this right, he was actually instructing or riding for a part of the day on sunday, which would explain why he took less pics.Actually, if you look at the heavypennyphoto.com link, and go to the STT midohio april 25 and 26th folder, you'll notice he took about 500+ pics on saturday and less than 300 on sunday. i was a bit disappointed, to be honest. I thought if you're there to serve a particular function, then you should just do that... not mix riding/instructing with photography. despite all that, the pics were pretty good, though some were fairly blurry for professional work. I realize the shots where the rider is going through a corner at semi-high speeds are fairly difficult to keep the rider sharp and in focus, but with the equipment he had and his experience, it should be a straight forward thing to keep them all in focus. Then again, I have all of 1 class of Photography 101 from school as experience and a bunch of shitty pics i took with my old SLR.EDIT: The photographer already got back to me and told me he'll be shipping out another CD with all the pics (including the ones that were missing) as well as a bunch that he prepped for print and more with various editing done to it. That is quick and thorough response without any hassles... which is exactly what you'd expect to see from a well run business. Other than the things I mentioned above, I'm pretty satisfied by the way he responded to an honest mistake. I say this because there was another asian kid there with an identical bike and similar looking leathers, so he must've been so so confuse.

Disclaimer Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Only 1 photography class?Wait, so you're tell me that you don't walk around with a camera around your neck like all the other Asians I see?http://www.travelblog.org/Photos/1775056.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
