    I forgot to mention, when you look at the racing calendar make sure you have selected 2010 as the year otherwise you will get the wrong dates.

    I'll be practicing some DSLR photography. Would anyone like me to take specific shots?

    Please specify which shots you prefer
    - Getting Sideways
    - Down The Straight
    - Smoking it off the track lights
    - Pit Pics
    - Other

    I may even put the good ones on my web site

    My car is in no state to get out on the track yet hahaha.
    3sgte is going in hopefully by the end of July.

    I have the good old 350D camera,tripod and the dual lense kit. Not much but its a great amateur camera. It should take some half decent shots I hope

    Yeah... It's not looking like my car will make it. It was great to have the fun day as a target though! I've got a hell of a lot of shit done. It's looking like I'll be dropping it off for an exhaust and a tune early next week.

    I will still be there on Saturday to show my support for the oher guys, do some timing, help out where required and go for a few rides with those generous enough to let me passenger.
