Road America 2004

[666fast]

The pics were taken last summer during the ALMS race weekend. Road America is easily one of my favorite tracks. I have a blast everytime I go. These aren't the only pics, just the first few. The others are high res. I will be uploading them later. The pics were taken with two different cameras. The guy who took these low res shots never sent me the high res ones.



The Vette just spun, I'm not sure what caused it. He turned into the corner and my guess is that the brakes locked up on him.


When they tried to pull it out, the front splitter dug into the sand and the tow hook snapped off. There will be better pics of this to come. Including the burnout to get back on the track.


In another thread, (video links forum) AlienDB7 captured and posted a video of this Viper. You wouldn't believe how loud the crash was. He was going damn fast when he slammed into the tires as well! From where he went off to the wall, it must be 50 feet minimum. He sailed across it in a fraction of a second.


Yellow flag from the Viper wreck:




Superformance Cobra, this thing was pretty cool IMO.



The turbo on the big racing semi. My friend held a $20 for size comparison, but the glare made it not work so well! LOL Lets just say the turbo was massive.


Ultima GTR, first and only one I've ever seen. I believe it had a 700bhp Chevy smallblock.


Derek Bell's S60R. Didn't see much of it during the weekend. During practice it made an axle kerplode (thats why it's on the tow truck) and he also had problems forcing him to drop out of the race after two or three laps. When I upload the other pics, I have better pics of him. In one he's staring right at me as he sits on the tow truck. He doesn't look to happy! LOL
