Grand Am Rolex Series @ Barber Motorsports Park Pictures-Lots of 8's!

L8APEX · 07-23-2007, 09:48 AM

The GA RX-8 Club was back at Barber Motorsports Park for the Grand AM races this past weekend. There were four RX-8's 2 in the ST class, and 2 in the GT class. Thought i would share the pictures I took, it will take a while to get them all up, I have about 60 that turned out decent. The fireball ones are a little blurry, but they are very cropped, and were shot from a long way away, and even the 300 mm lens was not enough.

There will be more to come, it just takes time to go through them all.

Enjoy.

Here is a link to the full Gallery, I won't post them all here, it would be a a lot to load.

Full Gallery

Eventually i will have pics of the other cars too, but for now, just focusing on the 8's.

the race was great, not the best outcome for any of the 8's, but it was a lot of fun to be there, and also to get to meet up with Sylvain, Nick Ham, Nick Longhi, and David Haskell.

Seriously cool pics man.. that must have been great seeing those RX8s run

L8APEX · 07-30-2007, 01:26 PM

yep. it was awesome, best sounding cars in any of the 4 races. The flames the GT cars shot out were cool as hell too. Hanging out with Sylvain and the crew for a bit was fun too, can't wait to get my autographed poster framed and hung in the office.

Amazing pics L8!

I wish my car shot flames out like that

sonofaRX8 · 08-05-2007, 11:30 AM

L8APEX · 09-06-2007, 02:14 PM

it is kinds weird to see where this thread has wound up, in a bunch of forums I have never heard of.

locorx8 · 09-06-2007, 02:37 PM

Those pics are still awesome though, no wonder it was shared.
