Henry Coe State Park

I got out an took some pictures this weekend, which was a wonderful escape... Henry Coe State Park is a *huge* park just Southeast of my house which recently suffered a very bad forest fire. I drove up to get some pictures of scarred landscape, and was pleasantly surprised by the fact that I didn't see a single bit of burn scar. I guess the fires were deep in the park where I wasn't about to lug my 2000 pounds of camera equipment.

Go check a few of them out on my flickr page.

Thunderhill Reverse Dry Session (2 of 2)

Track day at Thunderhill Raceway in Willows, CA. The day alternated between very wet sessions and a few mostly-dry sessions. This is a portion of a mostly dry session. It had stopped raining, and the course pretty much was dry by the end. We're running the course in reverse direction, which is awesome if you've never tried it. This is my helmet camera - driver's eye view.

Thunderhill Reverse - Wet/Dry Conditions

Track day at Thunderhill Raceway in Willows, CA. The day alternated between very wet sessions and a few mostly-dry sessions. This is a portion of a drying session. It had stopped raining, but the course was not dry quite yet - which makes for some hairy high-speed sections. We're running the course in reverse direction, which is awesome if you've never tried it. This is my helmet camera - driver's eye view.

Laguna Seca Radical SR3

This video has been digitized for years (since long before YouTube) - but I never bothered to put it online. Silly me!

Track day at Laguna Seca in Monterey, CA. This is most of a session (advanced/instructor group) with me driving a Radical SR3. I was doing a test day in the car thanks to Radicals West, because I was considering one for purchase. I ended up with the Lotus Exige S. The Radical is still one of my favorite!
