RE: OT: why trailing-curtain-sync is useful

[frank theriault]

That first iteration of the RX 7 is one of my all time favourite sports cars 
- especially after the first year or two, when they rounded off the squarish 
bumpers.  Small, light, engine in the front, drive wheels in the back - 
geez, the RX 7 was the lone torch bearer for a while, after all the British 
light sports cars died in the late 70's.

But, I digress.  Nice shots, Christian (even though I know they're not 
yours).  Too bad about the night shots.  What, was he panning handheld, 
causing the lights to squiggle around like that?  I've never really seen 
that effect before.

I wanna take racing pictures again.  The few races I've been to in the past 
few years (basically the Molson Indy here in Toronto) have absolutely no 
areas to take photos from unless you have a press pass.

I've got to try to get to Mosport this summer.  I think we should have a 
TOPDML Mosport Camping Weekend!  <vbg>

cheers,
frank

The guy who shoots this event uses a Canon F1n.  The night shots are
hideous.
BTW, the red RX-7 in the second and third shots is the car I crewed for 
last
year.

The 2004 event is scheduled for June 4-5...  What a dilemma this makes!
