It was nice meeting you Bo... also, let your friend know with the Mustang (#980) that the pics are posted..
if he wants prints (8x10) of his car, let me know.. They are available upon request...

Very nice pics BTW!
actually he held on after the drift.. I had a couple of shots after this sequence, but they were blurry.. I got scared that he might spin and get closer to me, so I started backing up from my spot as I was taking these pictures. I was nealing down near a barrier but there was an open section in the fence where he would have ended up if he wasn't able to maintain control. He did a good job of fixing and controlling his turn..
The shots of the white G35 (#71) were worse, cause he ended up closer to my location and the last couple of shots ended up being blurry. The G35 didn't drift, he just hit the turn wrong, and went waaaayyyy too wide. luckily he was able to save it..

Yep, just trying to push the envelope a bit too much on those Brembo's, (just got out of a AP Racing brake equipped car)
That spot you where standing is the second hardest braking spot on the track, and just happens to be soon after the hardest braking spot, (brakes were still a bit too hot) got into the corner a bit too fast not having the full braking capabilities underneath me and had to hang it out to hang on to it. Not pretty
, but made it exciting for a particular photographer I saw standing nearby.

That M3 was driven by a nice gentleman @ ~56 yrs young. It was his first time out and he had tonz of fun.

I knew you were in control, but I just started backing up just in case. especially since I was closer to the open part of the barriers.
Is your car supercharged or twin turbo? either way, I will have to ask for a ride-along at the next track day... if you don't mind.. I would have asked you this past weekend, but I didn't bring my helmet along to the track..
sweet car!!!
