I only wish I could have driven, but I was exhausted and I think registration started before I was even off work. Josh and I went out to cheer on Bryan and the rest of the S2k autoxers. Fortunately we got to see Bryan run but I was about to pass out so we had to leave before Garrett and others got to take it to the track. Bryan did very well (no surprise there) so many congrats to him. Here are some photos:

One of my favorite cars (there were many awesome cars out there):


You know who:








My point and shoot is not the best for action shots, I did the best I could

Nice pics, at least you weren't inside watching Nascar!

Btw, to help with the motion blur on a point and shoot, move your upper body and camera with the subject - you'll get the opposite effect - subject clear, surroundings blurry.

Sorry I missed y'all. Would've been good to meet you.

Sorry you missed me too. (Bryan will never get tired of hearing this, I'm sure.) I went ahead and took FTD Saturday. There was some good competition too. The top 6 were all within 0.25 seconds and the top 12 were all within 1 second!

Can't wait until the fairgrounds! I should have some non-corded tires for it.

Actually I just looked and my $130 4MP Nikon Coolpix L4 actually has an exposure setting. This camera is awesome.

Yep, Garrett bested us all on Saturday.

I want to know who he paid off to add a +1 cone penalty to my run that would have taken FTD, though.

Correct me if I'm wrong but they look like Prodrives...

Ok, I will.

They do look like Prodrives, but they're stock wheels off of a '97 NSX.
