I'm guessing you meant because of the tail lights, but I couldn't find the similarities between them lol. They look more like Huracan tail lights than anything imo

Are those LED headlights custom, or is there a kit available somewhere?

Here are some pics from my most recent track day at Whiskey Hill Raceway - last one of the season unfortunately







I was able to drop 9.5 seconds from my first event on this track back in April to this last one (1'58"8 to 1'49"3)

Daniel O - these are both great pictures. What are you using for equipment?

The lighting is very well done! Flash light and a long exposure?

Honestly, I do not recall for each of these photos. My camera kit is full of different lights to experiment with. I use pen lights, multiple single LED AAA flashlights, single LED AA flash lights, keychain lights, remote strobes, larger lights with snoots, LED flood lights with 'low' settings, etc.

I think in both of these cases I only used AAA Single LED lights, one is a 'cool' white and the other is a 'warm' light (hence one is more blue and one is more yellow).

Yeah i put remote poppers in and shaved the handles. Good bit of work but I haven't seen it done yet on a 7 so I did it.
