It was a good day yesterday at Grand Bend Motorplex for the CSCS event. I was able to get tons of pictures (over 400) but, unfortunately I only had a 1GB and a 2GB card with me so I could’ve had a lot more if I had more memory. I filled them both up before the day was through, often having to delete some photos to capture more since some better shots would present themselves. I know I did miss some good ones, so that’s a bummer. After going through all of the images on my computer I ended up with 336 that I thought were good enough to show the public ;). All images were shot in RAW and have been downsized for the web for easy viewing, and less of a chance of people stealing images. Who wants low res. images anyways? I’ve uploaded the imagesto my Picasa account for easy viewing.
About the Day
My girlfriend and I arrived at
Grand Bend Motorplex just after 11am and were there until about 5pm. It was a long day out in the sun but, I had fun and she tells me she did too haha. The drag racing was good, the show and shine was good, the Gymkhana was a little bit of a disappointment (only about 4 cars max. did it) but, it was still fun to watch. A couple of friends showed up later in the day for bit, so that was good. It started raining a bit around 5pm, which is one of the reasons we decided to leave. We went to downtown Grand Bend for a bit of shopping and to eat supper at Coco’s. The food was too over-priced and wasn’t all that great :(. A storm started rolling in and we ended up driving into on the way home. Today I found out that there was a tornado sighted in one of the areas we were driving through and at the same time we were there. The rain was pouring too hard to see anything, so I guess we missed it haha.
Here’s a sample of what you can see by visiting my
Picasa album.
Functional and fast. Both are words that describe the Hasport ‘95 Integra sedan that carried Bernardo Martinez to victory in the 2007 NASA Honda Challenge Championship….
Need I say more? Well, probably. That’s why you should check out the rest of the article here.

Not my video, but it’s good none the less! Racing in the rain is a bad idea though, I wonder how many people crashed?
Anyone else not liking this weather? It’s been raining all day and night and supposed to be mild tomorrow as well. Then it’s supposed to be -20C again the following days with some nice snow storms. The streets were flooding tonight which, made for some very bad driving, as well as the ice that made the paved roads WORSE than the gravel road I live on!
