OT: Nice pic of my 996TT on the track

There was a pro photographer there - took me this long to get the images. I this pic I'm exiting turn 5, full throttle, prob 65-70mph, still cornering. You can really see the right side suspension is loaded. My passenger is "helping" with body english....

I like the pic. There are others - just haven't had time to process them.

Awesome!!! I'm glad to see the bra, makes a lot of sense on the track for a street machine. Are those bumbers part of the bra or part of the car?

Great Picture Greg - the only one I would like to see more is the one where you would appear in my rear view mirror! Unfortunately, the last time that happened it was a very brief view! I've still got the video (yours) of you gaining and eventually passing me and (everything else) at your first Tracquest event at Laguna Seca. The M5 just isn't in the same class as the 966tt when it comes to the track (or brakes!).
Keep the shiney side up,
cheers
Robert

I'm a sucker for a vanity shot....

Every DE I've done that had a pro photographer has resulted in a sale of a CD with my images. It's sick! I just can't help but purchase more action photos. I now budget for these just like I would brake fluid.

Here's my Beast, loaded up in Turn 1 at Road Atlanta (high speed right-hander, uphill). The Beast usually exhibits a nice four-wheel drift transitioning into Turn 2.
