Picture of the Month #27

[beez]

Time to hit the track again. Gonzo puts the hammer down on his '07 Cobalt Blue over Stone
Grey Cayman S as he exits one of the most iconic corners in racing - the Oak Tree turn at ViR.
He was one of a big "float" of Caymans and their owners who invaded the Zone 2 DE in March.

A great "action" shot! For gonzo's sake, it's a familiar scene, and one we hope to see repeated in the not-too-distant future.

[Speedy]

Nice -and I hope to see plenty more of this from gonzo soon!

[Ed Merry]

Love the picture. Love the setting. Ed

[Gator Bite]

Very cool shot.... And kind of bitter sweet under the ciircumstance.... Gonzo will be making more photos soon....

[CrocZilla]

One of Pistol's best!

[ApexL8]

Cobalt Blue continues to be one of my favorite Cayman colors, great shot of gonzo Pete!

[PistolPete]

Don't forget the skillful editing by beez!

Editing, what editing? Are you telling me that's not raw?

[Black Flag]

Hardly room for an acorn beneath the car! Nice shooting. Is this why they call you Pistol Pete

Yup, thank you!

[silberrosa]

Nice speed shot, nice car. And I would like to know how that poppier button works!

[mmelow49]

another great shot, thanks

[Brazooca]

Really nice pic in a truly iconic turn. Good job by both Pete and Gonzo. Makes me miss hanging out with you guys on the track even more. And I just can't find the damn "Poppier" button on my photo editor... lol

I haven't been to VIR in at least 30 years (maybe longer) but I saw that oak and knew exactly where that picture was taken. As an SCCA/IMSA corner captain I used to work the turn just before Oak Tree. Thanks for the memories. Great picture!

I got a new computer monitor and the picture looks even more poppier and luminous now.

Iconic, like Brazooca said, unmistakable, it's definitely the track's signature corner.

Thanks for the various Pictures of the month. Brought back wonderful memories.


Sad the Oak Tree fell down in a storm. I miss that noble landmark. Thanks again. Ed

That IS a great photo of a beautiful car. I got to make quite a few rounds under that old oak in my Audi before it fell. Unfortunately the Cayman will make it's first trip there this November and round the corner with no shade. I wonder if I'll be able to find the apex? :-)
