Yesterday, I had the opportunity to attend the Baxter's Historic Races at the Portland International Raceway in Portland, Oregon. Although I was there for only one day, I did not have the opportunity to actually see the historic races, I spent most of my time in the BMW corral in addition to going on the parade lap with my BMW brethrens. I managed to run into FastFwd in addition to a few other M5 owners at this event.

One thing I did have time for was to take pictures. And so for a change I thought I'd try experimenting with a series of angles, close-ups, etc. Some will appear familiar while others will be new.

A blow-by-blow commentary by yours truly.

Z3 badge


Huge tips coming out of a heavily modified Mini Cooper S


"S" badge from the same Mini S.


See if you can guess which car these plates were on.


Nice set of MovIt brakes on this 240 hp M3 powered Z3 1.8


Hartge badge


SIX tailpipes on this 'vette. Same one that appeared last year.


50th anniversary Corvette makes its appearance.


Looking at the insides of the Tubi pipes on a M5


Now here's something interesting that I bet none of you ever noticed. See if you can spot the differences.

Now the pictures loaded properly...

Well, I really like the interior shot as well as the last shot. If you photoshop away the electrical wires in the background, it will be superior.

Jason- I had a great time at the show on Saturday, thank you so much for everything! It was great to finally meet you and see your car along with your buddy's car!

I was at the event for around 4 hours and was not bored a single second of it, it was amazing to say the least! I was going to take some time for pictures but got so excited that I didn't get as many as planned. I think that Jason showed you what the show was all about with his amazing pictures. I was using a 35mm camera so my pictures are being developed, I will then scan them and post a few on this thread.

I had the chance to ride in Jason's friends Jet Black 00' M5 on the track which was a blast to say the least, and he was a REALLY nice guy! My friend who was with me has some good shots from inside Jasons M5 on the track when they were behind us and I will post those here also!

Thanks again Jason, your M5 is awesome!
