It was set up by debris on track from a previous spin. He wasn't sure how he managed to save it. At one point I saw the underside of the car from the rear, sadly that was in between frames.

I've been talking to wifey (and thats dangerous) and she's telling me "just take the Carrera". Dunno, that car scares me. Its wicked good, and its just the "S" model. I'd be sh__tin my pants in a GT3....

Member what dirty harry said, "a man has GOT to know his limitations,,,"

May do the C2S, but still, i'm hopin Josh will finish my wiring in the next week or two. I had all the dash and rest of the car done, alls he had to do was a couple of relay's under the dash and build a new computer engine harness.....going on three months now (since before SEMA). I love the dude and hes goiing through a hard time know, i'd rather have a friendship than an event....oh well...patience which i dont have, i'm learning....

Can't Wait!

That's Canon's newer EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM, on the 7D mkII with it's crop sensor that 100-400 turns into 160-640 mm's of zoom zoom.

Between the auto focus abilities of the 7D mkII and the performance of this lens shooting on track should be very rewarding.

This is through the trees in moderate lighting with the focus locking on black subjects. I'm impressed and can't wait to get it to the track.



It's also sharp, bright, and colorful!

Sieg very nice setup

I am also on the fence. Working on
the bird but too far to go for this event
Ran it last year with the car not ready
Not doing that again

Thought about ordering up some bridgestones
for the front of the Pantera and stealing the Bfg's
off the back of the bird. But it is really my track
car even though it did better than the bird crossing
last year
