In the straight slalom


Exiting the straight slalom


Rounding the corner...It feels like a fast run!!!!


ONLY A FEW CORNERS TO GO!!!!!


OH NOOOOOOO...realization that you are carrying too much speed and lift off the throttle too much!!!!


Keep the foot in it, spin a full 360...


Take another crack at the cones....


Through the 90 deg. corner


The home stretch...



Clean run...no cones down, but not exactly my fastest time...oh well Vince said he wanted a show .
Many thanks to Dogman for snapping all of these pics.

I was standing there, thinking ok he's doing great on this run!

I say to Jay, oh man he's going into this one hot! too hot! oh no I hear a change in engine and exhaust note....I start snapping shots hehe

The smell of spin was in the air, the visible plume of enflamed rubber wafting thru the air was hanging behind the car and all you can hear is the internal scream of Marco.

I liked the look of the dude in the Miata who went with you on the fun run, I wish I could have shot the lovely green colour as he took off his helmet heh.

My wife is pissed because I never shoot more than 30 seconds worth of video ever, I take some shots I shut it off, but I can manage to hit 55 seconds of Marco spinning around

Naw I didn't get it on video, she just made the comment that I can take more pictures than I do when I video anything.

I'll send those full size to you tonight.
