Nowhere near pburke's film shots, but I dragged a new-to-me F-801s to a track day at Laguna and took a few shots between the digitals:

Raw scans; could certainly be improved by some LR touchup, but I have to finish the digitals first and that kinda goes against why I brought the film cam anyway. Manual focus on all photos except those taken by my 50mm; I thought all of my lenses would AF with this body, but none will except the 50. Taken with one of these lenses:

Nikon 24mm f/1.8G
Nikon 50mm f/1.8D
Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 VR II
Nikon 300mm f/2.8 VR I

Sad news circulating in the Road America paddock was that the Shadows are being parked. RA was supposedly their last race.

The late model UOP Shadows were by far the coolest of the Can Am bunch. Maybe they got tired of buffing out the stone chips in the black paint.

If they actually park them, some enterprising guy will build reproductions. Seems to to be the going trend in vintage racing. Guys like Olthoff can't keep up with the demand for "New" GT40s it seems. More of them at the track every year.

A few shot from the start/finish line at the Radical Sports Cars North America race at Laguna Seca last month.


EDIT: Looking at these on my work computer they look really funky and dark - I wonder if something's up with my Macbook display.

looks like you applied some color grading color maps to the first two. Cinematic feel I do that when light is blue and boring

some strange DTM aero - rules are there to be exploited to the maximum, I guess, and nobody said you can't have 6 wings behind each rear wheel

this one is teal/orange "Hollywood" style color graded
