My entry would be
Red devil
It's a spaceframed imp running slicks and a rear mounted GSXR1000 engine and sequential 6 speed box - and it frapping shifts so was really hard to get a good close up in focus on track but I was really pleased with the depth of focus on this picture at Mallory Park
Anyway - I take rubbish pics but here's a few more (not for entry but more to encorage a bit of picture sharing) that I took last year that fit in with a red theme
Red - It makes a good backdrop (this is my trackday car and photos I took when it was being featured in "Total Vauxhall" Magazine or "Total Corsa" last year
and can be a good colour for detail shots too - wheels and brakes on the above car
Red Victor (if you don't know what RedVictor is someone should check you for a pulse or you are registered blind ) It did some demo runs at Mallory Park - it's the fastest road legal car on street tyres over the quarter mile BTW
Red(y) for use (USA Nascar November 07) I travel to the USA to watch NASCAR racing every year if I can afford it and last year I got a pit pass from SWMBO for my birthday so this got me much closer to the cars and pit equipment than I had ever been before - chuffed I was
Red Hot (Vintage racing is good fun if you get chance to see a race meeting live and trackside do it....
Can you guess what it is?
Answer is - Napier Bentley and in practice and in the race itself it was driven sideways most of the time - fantastic sight to see a seriously old car being given the beans lap after lap with smoke pouring off the tyres.
And I do occasionally do stuff that's not car related and concerts at night in a packed football stadium don't normally yeild decent pics
Camera used for all pics Fuji Finepix S5100 happy snapper nothing flash or fancy and not a DSLR just a point and squirt with about 3 mega pixels and it's 4 or five years old - about to clock up it's 10,000th picture soon
