Let me honestly say that I don't know what I've been doing wasting my time with drag-racing for such a long time. Road-racing is SO much fun, despite the higher cost and the harder beating the car takes. I definitely need to get the Mirage out to this track ASAP and have some fun with it, I think it would do pretty well. For those of you wondering, the track is Willow Springs Raceway, Streets of Willow to be exact. I went up with a few friends and played photographer while they had fun racing, so here are some pics.

Taken at 6:30am


The desert at dawn is a seriously awesome place to be


I really can't emphasize this enough...


In love with this shot


The dude who owned this car was really cool, he doesn't even keep track of his lap times, just goes out and runs his car and has fun


My friend's '93 Civic Si powered by a mostly stock B16A, which was hanging with most all the EVO's racing that day


Another buddy's '84 Volvo 242DL, megasquirt EMS, t3/t4, 1600's, runs on E85, stock motor


A very quick Miata


Another friend's '72 BMW 2002tii, converted to EFI using megasquirt with ITB's and a built motor


'94 GSX, 2.3 stroker, FP3065, EMS, 520whp @ 21psi on E85. Blew up his 4th gear on the 2nd session out, was a TRE trans too


My boy's Volvo hauling ass


The wing looks silly, but this car was fast-as-balls on the track


Mmm, me likey


295 race tires all around, lots of suspension work = fast car


E46 M3 racing on the adjacent track, Big Willow


The sound this was making, well, it made me feel funny down below


Downforce is a good thing, right?


Hauling ass in the Bimmer


VEEEEEEEEEEEETEC!!!


My buddy letting someone else drive his Civic


Radical? No, that's what kind of car it is--I think




My boy had a little too much fun in his Volvo, blew the turbo


This car was really loud, like, really really loud


Bad-ass Datsun racing the big track


I love hardtop Miatas

DO you have any more pictures of the Volvo? I am a huge fan of the 240 and 740 volvos. I almost got one before I picked up my mirage. I had gone through two dsms and a galant and wanted a change. While I am glad I came back and picked up two C53's and another laser, I still developed a soft spot for volvos.

As many pictures as you can get or have would be awesome.

If you click the link at the bottom there are more pics of it. That's really all I've got that are decent.

Lame. I need more. Make it happen.

What for? It's just a Volvo. He used all the factory red-motor turbo stuff to turbocharge it, custom-fabbed IC pipes, stock Volvo FMIC. It's really nothing special to look at.

Damn I need to move to Cali.

Wow , some of those pics at the top look like Postcards. Very nice shots as usual!

Who owns the 94 GSX? Was it featured in SCC years ago, Looks familiar?

Yes... Love it out there.
Awesome pictures man. Looks like so much fun. Always look forward to opening up your picture threads..

Homeboy is a very talented photographer. Very talented indeed.

Yup, that's Scot Gray's car. It's been in SCC a few times, was in the Ultimate Street Car Challenge one year also, and almost won. He still owns the car, although it's looking a lot more beat these days.

Thanks for the nice comments guys.
