Ain't nothin' like starting the day with root beer, pizzelle, and a bit of Muse.

Kinja'd!!!

I've discovered that I like taking pictures of tires...

Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!!

...as well as exposed machinery.

Something you will only see in the garages at a racetrack.

Kinja'd!!!

This one turned out very nice.

Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!!

A very rusty and VERY jalop (see: turbodiesel manual transmission wagon) was found in the parking lot...

Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!!

...along with a very nice vintage Porsche 911 (there was a red turbo of the same generation that stupid me forgot to take a picture of), an awesome Boss 302 Mustang, two gorgeous R8s, parked right by each other, how convenient, a great CTS-V in red, and two absolutely sick vintage VW buses.

Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!!

The Corvettes were running in camo because the team had not run the C7.R in a race yet. They sounded great and seemed to be pretty competitive.

Kinja'd!!!

No people were cut in half in the making of this picture.

My four ( because I couldn't choose only three) favorite pictures are as followed:

Fourth:

It was tempting to put this higher up, but the others were just too good.

I had no idea that the DeltaWing used front tires off of a Model T.

I know, right. I had no clue that they were that skinny.

How on earth does it not understeer into oblivion?

Downforce. That and the fact it most likely has a smaller turning radius than average.

Great dump. Thanks. (Had no idea the DW used such skinny front tires).

Nice pics! I couldn't make it up for the Roar, but I can't wait for the race in a few weeks.
