Levels Trackday photos (56k run away!)

Postby SkylineObsession » Sun Jun 11, 2006 3:36 pm

There were more pics but they unfortunately didn't turn out as good. Didn't get pics of all cars either sorry.

Image
Image
Both taken of the sunrise at Waitati, a few minutes north of Dunedin.

Image
Taken close to Shag Point near Moeraki.

Image
Fog + trees + sun = good photo.

Image
Image
Near the turnoff to Waimate. Tried, but failed, to replicate the default Windows XP Home desktop picture.

Image
The vast majority of Timaru was this bad when we arrived, even worse before we got to the town - could barely see two car lengths in front of us. :shock: 8)

All of the above photos are available in 1024x768 resolution, the below shots that were taken of cars from the same spot are only available in the size you see them, apart from the Lotus 7 (or whatever it is) shot.

Image
chch34's beasty GTS-4 (fastest car i've ever been in).

Image

Image

Image
This guy was awesome fun to watch, kept getting the car sideways everywhere. :lol:

Image

Image

Image
I think this was turboed.

Image

Image

Image
Rotary powered MX-5. Sounded awesome.

Image
ToySpeeded Toyota.

Image
I think this was the only run this car did - shortly after this photo, just before the finish line, something went bang followed by a puff of brownish/blackish/greyish smoke from the exhaust. :?

Image

Image
S15 Silvia Spec R, pulled off the best drifting action of the day. 8)

Image

Image
Formula Ford.

Image
Something. This was the only 'motion' shot that actually turned out. :cry: Available in 1024x768 size if anyone wants it.

Image

Image

Image

Image
BA XR6T'ed(?) Focus - probably the fastest car there and an awesome sounding one at that.

Image

Image

Image
Don't know what engine it was, but it sounded V8'ty and not stock.

Image
Looks faster than it is.

All of the below are available in 1024x768 resolution i think. 8)

Image
Two beasts.

Image
Image
Image
Image
First time i've seen a Ferrari F355 (Berlinetta at that). The owner was REALLY friendly and said he's had it up to 260 km/h so far. On the track of course. ;) Also isn't 'stuck up' like he said some members of a certain Ferrari club are. He had also met Enzo Ferrari in person before too. :shock:

Image
Image
'Indian lap' (or whatever it is called) for the full old circuit sprint. Second track of the day (i went around the 'go kart' track with chch34).

Image
Look in the dictionary under 'Awesome' and you'll see this car.

Image
Image
The engine is in there. Somewhere.

Image

Image
This is what happens when you move the camera after you think it has taken the photo. It was supposed to be of the GTS-4 getting sideways. :(

Image
Image
Final parting shots.

I've come to the conclusion that i need a track car. So now that i have a goal...

Some real good shots there, awesome. About the same as watching certain other people up here racing, giving me that inspiration to sort my damn fx out.

Thanks guys. :)

Unfortunately i don't have too many big pictures (need a better camera) but i do have big (1024x768) versions of the following which have Starlets in them.

Image
Think i must have forgotten to save this after i resized it to 450px, so it is still the original size.

If it is the car i think you're talking about then it is the red one in front of the white Starlet in this photo;
Image ;)

Reason i didn't get pics of all cars is because i kinda lost track of what cars i had pics of and what ones i didn't. Had plenty of room on the memory card for morethough. :?

So when is the next trackday do you know?

Anyone know what the white bugeye was powered by? Looks like a reasonably new car, was it local to Timaru?

it was THE most unreliable K-powered car ever in the hands of Ross Anderson, usually blew up during qualifying or the first few laps!!

the guy who know owns it , gets built engines and hasn't had a DNF yet...touch wood.

Yea whens the next one!?

I think by looking at the calendar its on the 30th of September, but looks like there is a circuit sprint at Ruapuna on 22nd July, is that a similar deal?

the Canty car club ones are on every month, that one next month is a day/night one
usually we run 4 courses and have 2 goes at each, proper circuit tracks not like the car park etc bits they sometimes use at Levels
up to 10 cars on the track at once, let off in pairs. so usually the car you're paired with is the only one u go near
