Australian V8 Supercars @ Circuit of the Americas (COTA) in Austin, TX

[Flash68]

Wow, what a facility and event. A small group of us headed to Austin to check the inaugural event out and I'd say we were impressed.

We wanted to share our photos and videos from the event. Weld had his big daddy camera and took hundreds of great photos. There was a killer 23 story observation tower too. The big man Rodger of Ironworks would not join us up there.

We met up with several Lateral-G members who were local and also traveling to see the event. Nice meeting up with the likes of Bryan (Carbuff), Eric (?), Steve (gerno) and his dad, SW (needs no introduction), and Roger (68LS1) all the way from down under. Aussie Aussie Aussie.

I'll start with a few pics Greg sent me.

First 2 from the observation tower.





The short time a Ford was in the lead. Holden dominated the weekend.



The GT/GTS races were killer as well.



A Pirella GT3 Cup driver was dehydrated and they asked me to fill in, but I did not have my equipment with me so had to pass unfortunately.
