NFS Racing

Well, this week I really got into the Photo Mode. photos altogether. Several pics, though, were taken in the same race, so it won't take as long to describe.


Ambush Canyon was the track that I used the most this week. First race was with the Audi R8. Here I out-braked the red R8 for 2nd place.


I must say that the R8 has grown on me. At first, I thought it somewhat bulky and not a nice handling car. It's definitely not as nice as the Zonda R, but it's good. I eventually went on to win the race.

Next, I took my Toyota Supera for a spin on a Dakota track. This is a view from the driver's seat. BTW, the Red Cross sign says: 'Text "HAITI" to 90999 to donate $10.'




Next I took my newly painted Koenigsegg CCX for a couple of races. At the Glendale West track, the action got a little intense behind me. (Thankfully!)


I came in 3rd in that race. 

Next, I took the CCX on Ambush Canyon. Once again, the start proved, well, chaotic. Here's me giving the car in front an unneeded boost.


Damaged my car so bad that I DNF'd. So, I tried again. Did better...


...Until we came to a sharp corner. The car in front of me dove into the inside line, I took the outside. The inside car got too close to the fence and shied away, but too violently. As he came toward me, I thought I could clear him, but he struck my tail at an acute angle, sending me straight into the concrete-and-metal fence. Bummer!


Badly damaged, I DNF'd. Again.

So I parked the Koenigsegg and took the Zonda R our for a spin. On the Hazyview figure-8 track. With 15 other opponents. Two words to describe the ensuing race: Hectically chaotic.


I won. Barely.

For my final race I took the R8 on Ambush Canyon. Passed a good number of cars right off the start, then braked slightly as I approached the corner. And got hit in the back.


Around I went. Damage: minimal. Continued racing and placed first. A great way to finish.

Also bought two new cars, which I'll photograph next week.
