A fresh motor????????

Thanks to Greg, lunch was served both days. It was a great time to catch up and get to know some of the people in this community. Thanks again GW!

I volunteered this Saturday and had a great time. Here are a few of my favorite photos I took this weekend.:)

Beautiful sunset upon arrival, this photo took itself (riding the wind turbine bandwagon):

I have a soft spot for Datsuns…Spirit of the Event winner:

My camera couldn’t get enough of this car. So photogenic:

Probably my favorite driver (also my ride to the event):

It’s safe to say I fell in love with this car:

Here's my Flickr album of the rest of the photos I edited from this weekend.

DBasher 03-04-2015 01:58 AM

Great shots Amy! I think we shared spots a few times on Sunday during the expert runs. Besides little and silver, what kind of camera were you using?
:thumbsup:

GregWeld 03-04-2015 05:47 AM

I took my camera..... does that count??


Too busy prepping for lunch and loaning tools to ever get it out!!

Hi Amy! :hello:

Welcome to Lat-G!!! :theresa:

Thank you very much for volunteering at the event, you obviously understand the importance. :thumbsup:

Thanks for sharing the photos and album.....You have a great eye for composition. :bow: I really enjoy seeing other's perspectives through the lens of the same subject opportunities. Especially different genders and age groups, it emphasizes our similarities and uniqueness.

I must say you choose your rides to events quite wisely. I've really enjoyed getting to know Jake, albeit short, hid future is exciting!


Lastly, thanks for the photo, I've taken thousands at the events and have very few of myself and that one I really appreciate!

Holding your line and taking a "selfi" at 150 can be troublesome :thumbsup:

Great shots of your car Glassman.. it does
look at home on the track

Taking a pic at 150...
I used to ride CR500's with two brothers
when we went over to pick the one brother up
he had a picture of his speedo on his Yamaha R1
that he took out on highway 5 at 186 mph.. not
sure how he even held on to the camera

gotta love that optional corner, right Sieg? :D

Great pic of our little jack russell too!

I was using my Fujifilm X20 this weekend. It will be my go-to until I can scrape together the funds for a DSLR... :)

That is one tricky corner! I know you can understand how much fun it is on a bike carrying the front across the wasteland!

What's your pup's name? I loved his demeanor!

Amy that little camera's light meter appears to work exceptionally well! Not to mention the zoom range it appears to have. :thumbsup:

Thank you! I've found that there are very few photos a good crop couldn't save... I've also been enjoying seeing everybody else's photos, so many moments I missed over the weekend that I can now enjoy through another's lens.

An unfortunate consequence of being the one behind the camera. I'm glad you liked it, the photographer deserves some limelight too!

When in doubt zoom out! We're thinking alike while reviewing images, many times it looked like we were shadowing each other. So many options, so little time!

Truth, though in essence we like to be snipers in the shadows so not to distract the subject though it's nice to get caught occasionally. :)

Thanks again.

Roy69RS 03-04-2015 01:21 PM

Great pics Amy. Everyone that was there should check out your picture link. Looks like you got just about one of everyone. A little heavy on the 240Z coverage but I understand.:thumbsup:

Usually there are cones at this section of the course. Sometimes they are right off the candycane, other times they are kind of straight lined where they are 3 feet inside at apex of the striping. I have seen cars pick up cones and shoot them straight up pretty high in the air.

Yes, it's way fun to blast straight across there on a bike.

Too bad no one got and has posted a pic of your "Recovery" on the last turn in the cones .... as a volunteer it can get to be a bit tedious out there so your action was a nice break for us to watch .......
