R.C. Car Pictures

Since I am desperate for readers eager to please my blog friends, here are some additional pictures that I took of the R.C. cars.

Jumblerant, hope you enjoy these.


It took some skill to get the cars around the curves with any decent amount of speed.



The track wasn't far from the lake, it made a tremendous back drop for some of the shots.


Just about every component that can be changed on a real race car could be changed on these cars. Here is a close up of one of the 2 cars.




Most of the time we were running only 1 or 2 cars, my host invited me back out when his brother in law brings out more cars.....they often 4 cars at a time.

Last image of the car sliding through the curve. That took more skill then I had to drift the cars that way.

Cool pix!

I can drift a car like that if I'm sitting in it, but I dunno if I can while observing from a fixed positon a distance away....

Weer'd,

Thanks, I'm trying to get back into photography.

For a very long interval,I just didn't have the time for it as a hobby. Between working full time, going to school part time (for way too many years) and then marriage and family; it just didn't fit in the schedule.

I'm going to try to pull some of the shoots I've taken over the years and post them. I have some that were taken as part other activities. Now I want to take pictures just to take pictures.

Drifting the cars through the turns was really tough. The speed is deceptive, on more than one occasion the car executed a high speed crash.
