Crap, Kaan might actually have a running project and I have 2 non-running projects. Has the world gone upside down?

I'm leaving my gopro at home for Summit... no need to film the pain train.

I might hit the local loop once I clear it of County Mounties

Hey I'm just gonna stand here at the same turn and take the same picture of every car and magically make it look like they are standing still.

Where does EuroImages shoot? I've always thought Chris took some good pix. Was sorely disappointed in whoever shot the photos at NJMP with NASA Northeast. They were so bad it wasn't even worth stealing the previews.
Now:
'16 Ram 1500 | '97 BMW M3 | Some Press Loan

Then:
87 BMW 325e | 91 BMW 535i | 96 BMW 328i | 95 BMW 325i | 95 Mazda Miata | 13 Focus ST | 09 BMW 128i | 00 Pontiac Firebird | 05 Yukon Denali | 96 BMW 328iC | 11 Ford F-150 | 06 BMW M3 | 10 Range Rover SC | '03 Ford Ranger | '18 Ford F-150 | '01 BMW X5 | '98 Volvo S70 T5M

I think EuroImages was the name... they were the vendor that was around when Mike/RJ were tracking their cars. I have no problems with FinishLine, and understand its a one man show... but sometimes you need to tune your craft, ie. slow your shutter speed, and try some new vantage points.

Plus the EuroImage guys loved to buy drinks for people at Vixens hah.

EuroImage was awwwwwful. You could park your car in the middle of the track, get out take a picture and end up with the exact same shot as euroimage.
A photog buddy of mine chatted him up one time and he said he gave zero shits about cars or track stuff, which showed in his work.

looks like at least finishline puts a little sense of motion in the cars

best pro photos Ive ever seen was a crew at Mid Ohio. They had a huge toterhome trailer setup with about a dozen mac workstations for previewing your pics before you buy them. And the shots were magazine cover quality

I'm crawling under the car tonight to confirm, but I'm 99.9% sure I blew out the gasket between the header and the exhaust. I questioned the gasket that was provided with the header when I installed it... I should have gone with my gut I feel.

so I need to swing by the store to pick up a S2k collector donut (aka the 2.5 inch Honda collector gasket). I'm also going to try that copper exhaust sealer stuff along with these clamps... instead of the traditional U clamps. They are made for slip fit systems and should help keep the sealer from blowing out when I rev it until the valves float

I do recall that gasket being utter crap.

I might have yanked the slip fit between the cat and the exhaust... oops.
