Yesterday I went out to Shannonville Motorsports Park to watch the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! day going on. I've been looking forward to getting out to a track to take photos, and this is the first chance I've had to. I ended up taking a little under 2000 pictures.

It was a lot of fun. I was able to watch from pit lane, so I was less than six feet from drifting cars (there was a cement barrier between). So I, and probably everyone else, ended up covered in tiny chunks of tire.

There were cars for everyone there. Plenty of JDM, including a couple of mazdas, two trucks, a couple of fox body Mustangs, and even a 3rd Generation Camaro. There were two civics driving on the track, one I think was being used as a safety car (the White Civic), and the other was being used as a camera car.

Thanks for looking folks. Comments Welcome.

That's cause he was out there using it! It was awesome to see Miatas out there drifting.

Not the biggest fan of windscreen stickers, but I really like that one

It is cool. There is a local guy here, Danny George, who has been drifting Miatas for years. He finally made it into Formula Drift compitetions as of last year so hes doing pretty well with his LS powered Miatas.

I was going to say that name sounded familiar. I love his Miata. The orange colour is awesome.

Hes a real cool, down to earth guy too. Met him at the first FD event (he was still running in the Pro AM class at that point) I went to, just by chance, I was sitting about a row away from his family / friends, so when he was done he came over and pretty much just hung out with the crowd and chatted everyone up and just self promoted the shit out of, well, himself.

That's pretty awesome. I've seen him called the People's Champion, and I bet that is why. It's fantastic that such a busy guy would take the time to make people's day.
