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.

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.

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.

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.
