    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. 👍

                  Edit: I do enjoy the poverty-spec lighting on an e21, but I can't decide whether this reminds me more of Steve Buscemi, or Sid from Ice Age....

                    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 😛
