        I'll be at campsite 287 in the turn 8 section for the Hawk.  My brother in law is coming too with his pop up camper so maybe we won't get soaked this year.

          Tickets bought for the Hawk.  2 weeks away, Mia and I were watching in car racing videos of RA this week.

              I took the day off today (Friday), but I have adulting to do tomorrow, so I couldn't hang around late, otherwise I would have tried to find y'all who were camping. Based on my observations, I have a feeling that there are some people out there who could really get on the throttle after all the toys are put away, if you know what I mean. May have to plan better next year... looks like a fun time.

              Anyways, spent the whole day training at the photo dojo. Couldn't choose just a few favorites, so here comes the mega dump:

                Great photos, Mike. Have you thought about doing any post processing?

                Removing that chromatic aberration on some of the photos would be easy. That's typically a byproduct of those 1.8 lenses.

                  Hmm, can't really say that I notice what you're talking about. Currently, I'm shooting jpg, and all post-processing is happening in mspaint.

                  For now I'm trying to avoid getting into any post-processing so that I can concentrate on getting it right in the camera. Definitely something that I will look into more once I get more comfortable.

                    yeah, i'm struggling to see any CA in his photos. one photo its obvious out of all of those, but thats only because i'm looking.

                    i wish i was better at taking the time to completely setup a photo versus fall back on post-processing..its a hard habit to break - good on you, Mike, for trying to avoid it in the first place.

                          First time at Road America this weekend, it was pretty insane. Cool to see a e36 in the stock displacement class finish in front of Porsches and Ferraris. I couldn't believe that a 80's stingray finished first over full blown LM-looking 458's, R8's and GTR's on a road course. The Trans Am race was sweet, the stereotype that old muscle cars are heavy and cant turn is clearly not even close to accurate.

                            I missed the trans-am qualifying session unfortunately. I do have a video of the of the can-am cars starting up and pulling out onto the track, but it doesn't come close to doing justice to what it's actually like being there and experiencing it. 👍

                                    what a great time. glad to meet some new guys and run into old friends. 

                                    @ChrisO that black stingray was absolutely flying. he was on the edge of traction all the way through turn 6 and making most of the other cars look like my grandma was driving.

                                      caught an 'off' on camera. luckily on reentry (sideways) the other cars were able to slow and there was no contact.

                                        I think next year we should definitely have an OFFICIAL wibimmers meet during the vintage weekend!.

                                        I keep looking through these photos to hopefully see myself. But nahh 😛
