I wish. Mostly just Geoff, Ed, and G. Its my dad's Nikon D50? And some zoom lense that wasn't enough. I almost got in trouble for trying to climb a fence by the corkscrew for better pictures.
I'm going to post up all the pictures I took and you can try and find yourself. There are like 400+ though.

I know he dropped a link in my build thread to an album of my car, not sure how many other cars they shot?
I've never really had someone there to hang out and shoot pics. Its super ******* awesome and I love it, can't say thank you enough

Guess thats what girlfriends are for. I had a lot of fun shooting them. Going to try again next year with a bigger lense and SD card.

I'm really glad she came out. It got hailey to go from "I will never do a track day" to, "Maybe someday I will consider it"
Has gabby done auto-x? I want to get hailey some car control experience before putting her out on the track like that.

I had a great time getting my car back on the track even if I felt super rusty and my turbo only seemed to deliver its massive 3.7psi of boost somewhere around 6,000rpm.
On our run to get gas and sandwiches in town, I can say that the "Gesso-set" rides pretty comfortablely and has a surprising amount of space inside. It certainly turns heads.

It was great seeing you out there this weekend! I know its been a while for most of us, we all just need to get back in the groove.
You should know better than to say things like this 
(Geoff has the Comanche and I've got the F-250, but I don't think either of us would be comfortable towing with either of those vehicles at this point)

Gabby and I cruised down to a local car meetup this morning. I think she got got more pictures with her DSLR, I'll post them later if anything turned out.
I did nothing to the car but give it a quick wipe down. Feels good to just drive it with minimal worries (brought the AAA card just in case still).

The guy in the atom had a helmet on, but I dont think the guy in the locost 7 (ztec based) did.
There was a pretty wide range of cars, from a Ferrari mondial convertable to a bone stock 80's Nissan pickup.

We'll see how the weather does today. Given the interior is made of two rolls of gaff tape, I'm a bit loathe for driving around when there might be puddles or rain.
