Topic: My pictures from Thunderhill [and one video highlight]

So I was driving the Aqua Volvo on Saturday late in the day, enjoying a fun stint when I decided to start hustling the car around a bit because I had open track.  It seemed to be working well, so why not?  Well this is why not

I was just glad I caught it while it was turning and steered it over to the right.  It could have been really bad.  As Mr Burns said on The Simpsons "Homer, your bravery and quick thinking have turned a potential Chernobyl into a mere Three-Mile Island."

I decided to take pictures on Sunday instead of drive, handing those duties off to another driver who never got seat time in his ride due to mechanical issues.  I had shot at the Olympus Rally the weekend prior and still had my camera covered in dust and slightly busted up from a rock [thanks David Higgins]

Sorry they are not organized by team, but I feel like I got a decent mix of cars for only taking pictures for 2 hours.  I'd like to do it longer in the future.

I liked how they turned out and wanted to share them so enjoy.
