Saturday@AU79
Spent chill saturday night at AU79 in San Gaberiel with some friends. The usual crew, plus some new additions.
Woke up at 5am on saturday and headed out to fontana, ca to attend Mazfest at autoclub speedway (formerly california speedway). Built in the 90s the California speedway holds motor sport events of many kinds, notably NASCAR. For mazfest we only drove the roval configuration which consists of a half oval and part of the infield.
Although i cant say im a big fan of NASCAR, but it was pretty awesome to be driving on a real racetrack. The feeling of speeding down the front straight zooming past the stands is definitely exhilarating. The concrete barriers and tire walls are scary also.
The 90 degree weather didnt help performances, my times were pretty slow. Thank god for beach umbrellas. One car actually caught on fire, it was a FD rx7. Several other cars broke down. I found myself off the track a couple of times, and ended up with a damaged wheelwell and toasted brakepads. Overall it was a very fun day, and awesome to be on track with other mazdas.

So Ryan asked me to do a photo shoot in downtown for the cars, but weather conditions were not perfect for that weekend. I decided to bring my camera to the meet the next week. Originally i wanted to shoot HDRs for all cars but ended up just using one image each because i messed up the settings. Noob mistake. Watch out for a real photoshoot some time in the future. In the mean time, click for more photos.
