2009 Event Highlights

I would like to extend my thanks to everyone who has given me their support in 2009. I really couldn't do this without all of you. I'd like to share some of my favorite highlights from the 2009 season. I took a lot of pictures this year. :-)

It was very hard to pick these out from the bunch.

If you thought GT Live was awesome, you should've been at Octoberfest...

Okay. So anyone who has had at least at few conversations with me on the subject of racing, has probably heard me talk about how much I love Virginia International Raceway. Out of all of the tracks I've been to thus far, it has remained my favorite. It's just a beautiful facility. And every year, I look forward to attending GT Live at VIR. Having such a wide range of subjects to photograph all in one place is invigorating.

However, this year, despite the change of event name, it was still just as satisfying as in previous years. Although I have to admit, one of my favorite parts of this annual event is the camaraderie. I really enjoy getting to interact with new people, and the place to do it isn't necessarily at the track. It's the post-race day, evening activities that make it even more of a notable event in my opinion.

Case in point: Drunken karaoke, at Hams, with several people I'd never meet previous to this event, who I'm pretty sure are some of the coolest people I know. I sang. We all sang. I don't think anyone has ever made a karaoke version of a Bon Jovi song sound so badass. Ha. A big thanks to all the Drift Indy folks...you guys are hilarious.

This kind of stuff is one of the reasons I love Drifting so much. There's still an endearing and green quality about it as well as the people involved in it.

Regardless of all the drunken shenanigans, it was a great event weekend. Some of my favorite shots of the year were taken this past weekend.

Drivers, feel free to save your shots and upload wherever you'd like. But don't crop out the Slammed Graphics logo...your support is always appreciated.
