so he went in too hot, understeered and BAM! I wonder how fast he was going.

Anyone have any more pics and/or vids? I didn't take too many and now I'm regretting it. The photographers didn't seem to take many pics of our FC.

The Civic lost control and hit the infield dirt in the middle of Turn 1 and the right tires dug into the ground the car flipped. Car is all stripped down and we're planning to put the motor into another EK shell.

I think he got scared cause he saw me chasing him down! haha man my FD was slow, Civics was pulling on me in the straights....sucks

its gonna be about the end of the week before we get our pics up. What color are you guy's FC's? We're gonna delete alot of the pics and just use a few pics per car but if you have special request Ill send them to you guys.

He didnt understeer. If he did he would have gone wide, not into the infield. They were pushing it too hard tho, trying to keep up/pass the S2000.

What color is your FC? My photographer got some good shots at Turn 5.

I think Andrew barely took any pics in B group. Im not trying to talk **** bout him but his pics look pretty biased. Theres like 3 pages with 8 shots per page of the blue S2k, LS1 FC, and the Corollas. The least could be 1-2 shots of every car that was on track there.

Thanks for the pics of us at turn 5. Very much appreciated. Looks like my lip was damaged (from the problems we had earlier that day) so I don't want any high resolution pics. I'll make sure the car is in better shape for the next event. I might need more pics THEN.

you're more than welcome to contact me beforehand and request pictures of specific cars.

and yes, i am biased. I barely make any money shooting events and do it more for fun. there are no rules about who i should i shoot and how many shots i should get. why are you whining about it?

I wasn't expecting ANY pics so the few that appeared from others were cool. I saw that you were biased for the drifters and other cars (most likely people you already knew, like Don, Todd, etc. etc.) but like you said, you're not getting paid and it's only for fun.

Guess how many pics of 240s, corollas and other non rotary cars I took?

Don't get so defensive. You just restated what turbomax95 said but with a little extra attitude and it's unnecessary. ABmotorsports showed no pics of us and that's cool, like I said, I wasn't expecting it but don't come give us attitude when we are disappointed that some of the newbies were neglected.

A simple: "I was everywhere that day and missed some people" would have been more than enough since we honestly can't expect you to photograph everyone for free.

you can take pics of any cars you choose to, its not againist the "rules" I was just stating my opinion on what i noticed. Where do you see any whining?
I paid for my photographer out of my pocket and im not asking or expecting anything in return, I was doing it for fun like yourself and I thought it would be funner (more fun) to include as many people as possible.
