Just back from 3 days tossing my Z around Beaverun Motorsports Park, (just west of Pittsburgh). 3 day Audi event. What a great track. 12 turns 1.5 miles, with 2 straights that'll easily let you top over 100mph. While there, I got a ride in a friends twin turbo 911, hit about 140 on the front straight. It's a tough job, someone had to uh... "lap the Beaver". There was just one other Nissan there - a silver 350z track model. Excellent driver too. There was also a professional photographer at the event. He got a good shot of me coming out of turn 7 (an off camber downhill turn). Fortunately my ugly mug is covered by a helmet but it could be nice as a Nissan calendar shot or owners ride shot. Problem isthe pic is 2.07 MB jpeg (pretty big) and I'm not sure how to shrink it to post it.

Any advice?

photoshop works pretty good, illustrator and freehand can, but not as well. shareware.com downloads.com may have a beta version you can use.

Hey. The photographer posted the event pics on his website. It's free. link is http://www. fred-voit.com. Then hit the "purchase on line" link, then the Audi Beaverun link (AB group), and there are tons of pics. The best pages that have several of my little red nissan is pages 4 and 6.
