"The Showdown" 8-16-2009 - Official Photo Thread

Today was "The Showdown" at Raceway Park in Englishtown, NJ. It was hot as sin and there was a pretty good turn out.
A lot of big shops showed up, including but not limited to: AMS, IveyTune, English Racing, CFT, Turbo Trix, just to name a few.

I took 500+ photos and I'll be going through them over the course of this evening as I sort, edit, and post.

I don't have a telephoto zoom, so forgive me for the lack of racing shots. I need to pick up an EF 70-200mm F/2.8L IS at some point....when I'm not broke.

Please enjoy the photos and let me know what you think.

Thanks!

Great day, great crowd but it was TOO hot!!! i was seeing 125s IATs....

I as running the head up class and i lost to the gutted slicked grey EVO II in the quarterfinals. I had a better ET but the combined with his RT was faster!

Faster pass of the day 11.46 @ 127 @ 3380 pounds on pump....

i did:

11.52@127.5 (1.92 60ft)
11.68@125.5 (1.94 60ft)
11.52@124.0 (1.82 60ft)
11.46@127.2 (1.89 60ft)

Lets see some pictures guys!!!

Looks like a nice turn out hopefully next year the shootout and showdown can offset their dates allowing us to attend both instead of spiting each other and splitting the community.

Hope everyone had a successful race day and the cars are in one piece
