These are various shots taken on Sunday May 21st, 2006
at the East TN Region's SCCA Autocross at Smokey
Stadium. These are just small samples of roughly 1,500
pictures taken that afternoon.
Each of these is cropped from within the full-sized
image and reduced way down in size to fit here.
The full-sized pictures are available on the 'your pics are
here' page.

All Wheel Drive turns 3-wheel drive in this
WRX! Who said FWD's have all the fun?

A Miata takes on the track as he sets up for the tight left
A MazdaSpeed Turbo Miata lights up the tires as they enjoy
power-oversteer after a tight left!

Glowing back brake rotors anyone?
Front rotors a-glow on this sharp-looking WRX.
Not to be out-done, this Mini Cooper-S lights
up the rear rotor as he hits the hard braking
area's. I have to wonder how much better it
would look just after dusk!

This WRX front rotor is really showing through the
nice open wheels!

The MazdaSpeed Miata cut's the cone about as close as possible
without actually taking the 5-second penalty!

Did the C5 hit the cone or not? Stay-tuned...
A few moments of maximum-oversteer before the inevitable spin.
If you don't push hard enough to spin, you are never going to
learn anything! (though the next few secons would have several
cones disagreeing I'm sure..)

A Lotus Elise shows why smaller can be better while threading the
needle of a very fast section of the course.

Diving into a hard left, this Evolution VIII MR looked great as it
danced it's way around the course occasionally lifting an inside
wheel!

Look again! This is actually a text-book perfect left-hand drift
as he settled into the short straight before the next right!

2" Helmet rule? I thought that was BELOW the roof line?
An STi passes an apex into another corner. At full song they sound
great!
great!
At speed coming into the hard left, can't get enough of the Elise's!
Another Miata at speed! Notice the helmet below the windshield?
<grin> I thought BMW's were supposed to have larger cockpits?

I think the cone survived this one but it was close!!!
Notice how low the nose goes under that tight a corner.

Clear for take-off!! A frequent sight for the
VW's was the inside rear wheel hiked up
in the air.

Novel concept, the AP-Racing brakes glowing on
the Elise will give you an idea how hard he was
pushing it!

A close-up crop of the WRX rotor from above with that nice tinge of inferno
red coming across the outer rim! I wonder if those wheels will fit my Miata?
Darned 4-lugs... <sigh>
