Continuing with my catch up series of posts, a couple of weeks after FCF, I met up with a photographer who worked for Super Street to do a shoot of my car at a local track called Raceway Park in Englishtown. He managed to get the track to let us use the drift track for our shoot, but that also meant heading out by 6am on a Wednesday morning to do the shoot, luckily I was still working second shift at the time which meant I had the mornings off so that worked out nicely. I got there just as the sun was rising and met the photographer and his brother at the front gate.

Here's a quick photo i snapped with my iphone that i thought came out pretty cool with the sunrise in the background.


The grounds keeper let us into the gate and we pretty much got started right away on the rolling shots. Since I'm not a drifter he simply took some shots of the car driving around the track at about 20-30 mph. It wasn't exactly super exciting, but it was fun to have the whole track all to myself even if I couldn't go very fast. Also, I thought it served as a preview to my upcoming track day that I had been anticipating for quite a while.

This picture was taken during a break of the rolling shots. I thought the color trees in the background captured the season quite well.


This picture was towards the end of the shoot where we stopped the rolling shots to do a couple of stills.


The whole shoot took roughly two hours but it was limited to rolling shots and a couple of still shots, that meant we had to plan another meet to do detailed shots of the engine bay and interior before it would be ready to be featured in Super Street. Later that day, the photographer sent me a photo of one of the shots he took, which I thought turned out pretty amazing. I guess that's why magazines hire him to shoot cars for them.

And here's the end result of one of the photos...i was pretty surprised by how good it came out...i would say probably one of my favorite shots of my car to date.



I have still yet to see the rest of the photos from that day but I have a feeling that'll never happen, but I'll get into the "why" of that in the next post.
