Tejas CCA Track Event

Doctor///M · 03-31-2012, 09:36 PM

Hey All,

Attended my first track event today at the Tejas Chapter meet at the Harris Hill Raceway! Was also fortunate to piggyback on an instructor's set in a 1M. It was insane!! The handling, grip, braking and acceleration was mind numbing. I did remember to strap my seatbelt tight and inflate the bolsters all the way... and it helped (a lot). Here are some pics from the event...

BMW's of all types were present (among some others) and the crowd was fantastic. I must say that there is a difference between showing up in nice cars like these, and actually getting to experience them in proper action!!

Enjoy!

Haha, can't go wrong with a phoenix yellow e46. Definitely was one of the more eye grabbing cars on the track, especially with the upgraded led halos!!!

thanks! t'was my first time doing this type of action photography. Didn't take my ultra telephoto lens, so couldn't get the cars full-frame. Also found out that my tripod sucks for this application. Ah well, live, learn and spend more money on expensive activities...

These photos are sex!
I approve!
