Hope to see you then. I read the board before taking 495 about the raod being blocked. I'm glad I did, cause on the way in I was stuck on the Anacostia bridge for 1 1/4 hr at 8:30 am

Yeah, that run was almost perfect .
You took every curve flawlessly until the last split second.
Great run though.

Thanks, it always fun shooting moving subjects.

Maybe, it's a good idea if some of us who love photography to get together at some autox events. Its great to shoot together for fun, share tips and info.

At your speed, I will definitely need a faster/better camera. Or the picture will become like this...............

How r you?, it's been a while haven't seen you and your MINI.
Some of us will join CDC's autox on May 10th in Frederick. It'd be great if you could make it. We would love to see you in action.

10th would be a bit hard for me to do.. i will only see about it ... if Maxi will be there..(I need to request the day off) but 11th is a easier since that is my day off. Which who know I may bring my Drift Set up.
