Red Mist Photo makes its first sale!

Proformance Racing School held a track day last Saturday so I got my first chance at taking some pictures of the driver's and their cars.

The lighting was terrible (very dark) but good enough to take some good pictures. Good enough to sell. The first photo sold is this one of a very cool Acura NSX (highly modified):



My photography website is http://redmistphoto.com.

Where did the name Red Mist Photo come from you ask!? "Red Mist" is a condition where any competitor is so hell bent on catching the next car ahead of them that they loose composure and concentration. Naturally, it usually results in a driver error.

Thunderhill Raceway and Cobra Brakes Reprise

Thunderhill was fantastic as usual; I simply love that track. It is very fast, some nice elevation changes, blind corners, off camber corners, fun corners, fun track!

Some photos (taken by "Head-on Photos"):



Brakes

However, the high speed between the many corners and braking into the corners really showed how even the upgraded 13" front brakes are not powerful enough to repeatedly slow down a 3800lbs car. In the first day I went through a new set of brake pads! Pads that normally last 4 to 6 track days!! Went through another set of pads on the second day! Lots of brake fade and boiled brake fluid...

After returning from Thunderhill I installed new Brembo brakes on the Cobra. This time 14" diameter rotors which are also 4mm wider; this makes them much more efficient heat sinks. These are paired with Brembo 6 piston calipers. This should do the trick!
