CSCS @ Grand Bend Motorplex June 22, 2008

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.
