Race garages

[mysta2]

I love the paddock. I haven't been to a lot of races of any sort (In Texas and NASCAR doesn't really appeal to me) But I always find that the garages before and after a race to be a lot more interesting than the race itself.

Back in 2004 I flew to California to see a JGTC exhibition race (and check out the couple of different companies that make Porsche 550 replicas) I kind of forgot about the album I made up of these pics until the garages at night thread reminded me of a few of them. So here are some of my favorites.


This is the car that won that night.













Lets see some of yours.

Edit: oops, those came out really big, I'll thumbnail them and make them clickable to the original blog.

Nice ... makes me miss that era of Japanese cars even more.

They're only getting cheaper ...until they start to get more expensive, but that's probably a ways off.

Sort of, good clean examples still seem to demand a pretty high price on most of those models. The other problem is they are too old to easily get a loan on now, and my pocket change to Japanese Super Car retail ratio is still too far out of whack for me to buy one outright.

Did you see the size of the brake rotors!
