Hey those are great man! You have a unique photo style. More realistic in a lot of ways. I dig it.

Thanks. That is what I try to aim for, realism.
 
Just a few from Nurburgring for now. Class and work are killing my time for pictures :)

These are only a few from the first lap of the LMES preseason race in the GTE class, featuring Mitch and Flyin.

Everyone packed up, ready to go with the Z leading on lap 1.

Mitch and Flyin have to pit after a collision in the final chicane. From the looks of the video Mitch missed his braking point and flew past FH, followed by contact between mitch's rear and FH's front-end. Who said team mates couldn't get a little gritty racing each other? Well, I guess their pit crews might have some words about it...

That's it for now please excuse it being so skimpy. I took these shots in between a really hectic and somewhat downtrodden day, but I did these by request. If you want pics of yourself just post here using the request format on the OP. I don't think I'm so great that people are going to line up requests but I just mainly did it to quicken the process and be given ideas of what people think the best shots would be. Please, I actually want requests for shots so I know what to look for. Otherwise I'm following certain cars and possibly missing great moments with others.

Anyway that's it for now, as brief a collection as it is. Adios for now.
 
Thanks man, really like pic #2!
 
ALMS @ Spa (preseason) 11/18/11:

Been getting rusty with pictures; just don't have the time I used to. But here are a few from our preseason race at Spa. BTW I'm using photobucket now so forgive any formatting issues. Still working it out...

Myself in the sliver-matte Ford with red-matte wheels, chased down by the formidable Flyin' Hawaiian in his own American-muscled GT beast.

Sexy looking 911 gets caught up in an LMP battle!

Vettes and Beamers battle in typical ALMS style. Check your mirrors!

CircuitdeSpa-Francorchamps_3.jpg


Our featured battle! It's so close here in the early laps of the race. Tire choice may have played a factor as these two fight through the final chicane!

The concentration is intense.

Those green wheels look familiar :D Not mine, this season. Jav didn't stop to admire them.

Sums up the race. Some good racing moments for all. Watching those LMPs go by the GT cars gives me butterflies. We've been away too long.
 
You sayin' my wheels aren't attractive? Why I outta... Lol but cool pics! :D
 
My God, that last pic of the Peugeot is epic!!!
Excellent group of photos!
 
ALMS @ Daytona Road Course 12/2/11:

Season 3 is here! And what a great looking bunch of cars for a fast bunch of drivers. I didn't get a lot of pictures, but I think this bunch pretty well represents the field.

It was a sunny day in Florida...

The GT field lead by the yellow vette flies past the checkered in a traditional Daytona pack of speed. You'll notice me in the Ford waaay in the distance.

The race is on! Dear Ferrari 458: I hate to see you go but love to watch you leave :D Sorry...

RoadCourse-Daytona_2.jpg


Gatrs recovering from an off, battling it out with street king's Jag. Is it me or does it look even cooler with damage?

RoadCourse-Daytona_3.jpg


The 908s battle hard. A wreck early on costs one of the LMP1 drivers the lead!

RoadCourse-Daytona_4.jpg


The Pescarolos at warp 9!

RoadCourse-Daytona_5.jpg


The battle for first is fierce in GT.

RoadCourse-Daytona_6.jpg


A P2 driver passes one of the vettes in traffic, maintaining its lead.

The yellow beamer passes me, stealing 6th place away in a hard-battled final few seconds of the race after the bus stop. A tremendous effort!

What a race. At times frustrating, at times fun, always intense. Looking forward to Suzuka this Friday!
 
Sweet pictures as always TT!!
 
Nice pics TT13 👍 Maybe we can merge our photo skills onto this thread? Whatta you say?
