That's what I'm talkin about right there. Now, I'm for stupid power just as much as anyone else, but how can you even think about hooking up on the street with that kind of power? And it always cracks me up that people with that kind of power roll around on street tires.

The owner of the car wanted the best of the best and something that hadn't been done before.

Haha. A lot of people tend to do that. I love watching people's reactions at shows. It's very entertaining.

You don't. 1st through 4th are pretty much useless.

Yes, but no. That is not his car. Notice the intercooler says Procharger.

Hopefully me and the Z06 will be there. My spring MCE pics are here: http://www.johntookmypicture.com/gallery/4629653_djkga

How about you? If I run can you take some pics for me?
Seriously... I'll return the favor if you are running.

On a side note, what's your workflow for HDR? Are you doing them from one raw file or from several exposures?
I've been bracketing 3 to 5 exposures handheld and then importing those to photomatix... https://ls1tech.com/forums/multimedi...ics-ebz06.html

I will be there. I'll be leading a huge 20 car convoy leaving from Summit at about 8:30 on the 22nd if you want to join us. We should get to the track sometime around 9:30 - 9:45.

I will take pictures, no problem. I'm already planning on making a compilation video for the entire day.

I tend to stay away from Photomatix unless I want the picture to look surreal and different. I take pictures at every half exposure level from +3 to -3 if I have the time to. If not, I'll do every exposure from +2 to -2. If I'm in a rush, I'll just do +2, 0, and +2. I also put a 2 second self-timer on the camera to make sure all the pictures line up with one another. All with a tripod of course. There's another program called "EasyHDR" that I use and I have no complaints.
