Why would they care that someone was taking pictures?

As you might imagine, this has got all of the photographers pretty pissed.

That is pretty scummy. Wtf are they thinking? Especially in this day and age that is going to be a PR nightmare...

Edit: It's from their Digital Marketing Director. I'm baffled...

This is total Bull! Thanks for sharing that image Ian. The guy is the nicest guy and has been providing us nice photos for free since I have been racing. He literally promotes coming out on Wednesday night too. I think the only benefit he has received is waiving the $15 spectator fee.

A tiny snippet at the end of a giant wall of angry posts. I tried to respect people's privacy a little bit.

Had a fun night, except I really need to stop red lighting in the final so I can get some more wins. I clearly need to work on that, I wonder if Supermiata sells a Miata driver upgrade
Anyway, I took 2nd and saw this crazy 9 second mustang.

I wasn't feeling so hot last night, ate a bunch of chocolates the night before and didn't sleep well. Dang those fancy chocolates, I always eat too many. I don't really know why I let off before I passed my opponent, too sleepy I guess, out on the first round.

Thanks Ed, that nice clutch disc you guys got me is really performing well.

I had a great night and took 2nd place. My friend was having trouble with his traction control in the final. I missed a shift, I had cut a light on him but only sandbagged enough for a little wheel spin, not a missed shift. At least I didn't go red in the final, my new nickname, Carlos "Red in the final..." The tech guys were hilarious and put "Dog walker" on my window, cracked me up so I left it.

Oh by the way, that blue Mustang behind me was the car that dialed 11.55 but couldn't hook up. I knew he wouldn't when I saw his pilot sports, still trapped 120. It has a Rousch(spelling?) supercharger kit, in case anyone is interested.

You and Sonny can drive too, I have seen you. It just takes a few times to get the hang of it, but thanks.
Look at my last pass, two gold brickin' sand baggers exposed. I had a funny launch, spinning and hopping and figured I better make up the time, was my best 60' of the night


In the winners circle from last week.

I ran "Jackpot" last night, the competition is tough. I was eliminated on the first round. Fortunately, if you are eliminated on the first round in "Jackpot" you can jump back in "Gear Jammers" because we run after "Jackpot." So I was a semi finalist, but they don't have any more semi final trophies this year.

Went to the 1st bracket race in a while yesterday. I wasn't sure if my new helmet would arrive on time so I just ran stock. Boy is this thing slow, I shifted at 6 grand because I couldn't wait for the thing to climb any more. I am not used to driving it like this and my lights even sucked. I was out on the first elimination round, still not too bad against an automatic. A couple people were pretty funny when they saw my 10.5 dial, I was getting comments like, "You know we're only running eighth mile right?"

Had a rough first Wednesday night. I popped a boost coupler off and spit my dipstick out twice. That was it for me. Somehow this stuff never shows up on my initial shakedowns, only actually running an 1/8 or 1/4 mile pass. It was still fun to see a bunch of those guys.
