Default Today at Corvette Challenge/EFI (E-Town)

Ahhh.. It's been months since I went to the track!

The weather was wonderful;



Love and Gasoline permeated the air:



Horsepower was everywhere:



There wasn't an Import to be seen, and the Bikes were cool;





There were old cars..

Ohhhh yeah- there were Corvettes:







And a few GTO's:







Everyone was way mellow.. just chillin' and watching the racing;



Only thing was I hit a button on the camera by accident and messed up a few prints.. se la vie!

If you like any of these, go to www.mrb375.smugmug.com and you can purchase them (I don't make any money) and I recommend the canvas wraps and metallic paper- looks cool.

I had a good day!

New lens, new camera, shot in "RAW" then processed in Adobe Lightroom 3.0

Plus- the wingnut behind the lens is finally getting the hang of this!

I almost didn't get that shot- some fathead walked right in front of me, but I was too quick on the sidestep!
