SteelBlue Posted April 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 New shower facilities are looking fiiiirrreeee. Especially with that new one right by the sargento bridge. Looking forward to sweating. Especially the Hawk, I am absolutely just disgusting at the end of the day. Because I get there at like 8 and am there till 5 and walking constantly. I walked 24 miles over Saturday and Sunday last year. jc43089 and m42b32 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't know they were building new showers, between that and a re-paved motorplex this year should be a blast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres the new one by the Sargento bridge and they are putting one in at the top of the hill right by the bottom of 5. There was a new one that had been at turn 3 for this year. m42b32 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsbimmer1 Posted April 19, 2018 Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 The new facilities are nice! It made camping with my wife and friends significant others much more tolerable in that there was far less complaining about how far the showers were.

I’ve seen a black on black E30 driving around, not sure if it’s anyone from here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jc43089 Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 I'll be at campsite 287 in the turn 8 section for the Hawk. My brother in law is coming too with his pop up camper so maybe we won't get soaked this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HipMF Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 I took the day off today (Friday), but I have adulting to do tomorrow, so I couldn't hang around late, otherwise I would have tried to find y'all who were camping. Based on my observations, I have a feeling that there are some people out there who could really get on the throttle after all the toys are put away, if you know what I mean. May have to plan better next year... looks like a fun time. Anyways, spent the whole day training at the photo dojo. Couldn't choose just a few favorites, so here comes the mega dump: AsparagusMike, m42b32, P_Roloff and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suspenceful Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 Great photos, Mike. Have you thought about doing any post processing? Removing that chromatic aberration on some of the photos would be easy. That's typically a byproduct of those 1.8 lenses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently, I'm shooting jpg, and all post-processing is happening in mspaint. For now I'm trying to avoid getting into any post-processing so that I can concentrate on getting it right in the camera. Definitely something that I will look into more once I get more comfortable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
straight6pwr Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 yeah, i'm struggling to see any CA in his photos. one photo its obvious out of all of those, but thats only because i'm looking. i wish i was better at taking the time to completely setup a photo versus fall back on post-processing..its a hard habit to break - good on you, Mike, for trying to avoid it in the first place. suspenceful 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisO Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 First time at Road America this weekend, it was pretty insane. Cool to see a e36 in the stock displacement class finish in front of Porsches and Ferraris. I couldn't believe that a 80's stingray finished first over full blown LM-looking 458's, R8's and GTR's on a road course. The Trans Am race was sweet, the stereotype that old muscle cars are heavy and cant turn is clearly not even close to accurate.

HipMF Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 I missed the trans-am qualifying session unfortunately. I do have a video of the of the can-am cars starting up and pulling out onto the track, but it doesn't come close to doing justice to what it's actually like being there and experiencing it. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: I do enjoy the poverty-spec lighting on an e21, but I can't decide whether this reminds me more of Steve Buscemi, or Sid from Ice Age....

straight6pwr Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 what a great time. glad to meet some new guys and run into old friends. @ChrisO that black stingray was absolutely flying. he was on the edge of traction all the way through turn 6 and making most of the other cars look like my grandma was driving. pictures: shell, the campfire dog 3 of the 5 shadow dn4s ever built were out racing. 8.0l chevy v8 NA making 800+hp R50 pit bike a couple of judd v10 powered cars there rock lobster!
