Not American muscle... but cool cars and good pics

[Johnny Horsepower]

I know, aside from Colin and myself, there are not too many road racing fans who hang out here. However, I have been attending the Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal since 1995. A World class event, with incredible atmosphere, cars and all types of sights and sounds. Thought I would share a few of the more general interest http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif type photos here. It was truly a target rich environment for a phototgrapher.

And for those who don;t get Forumla 1
try this...........the average car on the grid can do 0-150-0 in under 7 seconds.

Enjoy

Always like a flyover by a precision team....this is the Canadian Snow Birds!

Race takes place on an Island built for the world expo. (notice the Biosphere)
Easy access from the Metro, Parks, lakes, a Casino........incredible setting

Was very lucky and got a Mclaren garage tour only to have the young stud world Championship contender Lewis Hamilton show up.

I say we have a new contender for the headlight Photographer of the Year award. I have yet to get my camera out to the upcoming car shows so don't count me out yet...... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

[Dog427435]

I don't know anything about Forumla 1 cars - but something is very appealing! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif

[Tenney]

I'm a road racing fan (now).

[mockingbird812]

I am mysteriously drawn in the direction of Formula 1....................... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hmmm.gif

[x Baldwin Motion]

I got some pictures from someone who used to watch golf but now watches tennis. I can't post them here. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif

Those headlights are much brighter than the ones in any NASCAR infield !! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/flag.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

[SS427]

Send them to me Chris, if they are any good I will nominate you....... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif

[Xplantdad]

Great pics John! Thanks for all of the coverage (and what was left uncovered, too! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif)

[SS427]

Got'em Chris. Thanks! All I can say is 2 out of 4 aint bad! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif However, in order for you to win the contest, you must be the photographer. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Definitely a winner. I can see you with that trophy already......

[SSJunkie68-69]

I thought Canadian Health Care sucked but that random sampling of everyday "Canadaicana" shows they are indeed very healthy.....Did someone mention something about Formula 1 cars?? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

Seriously, thanks for sharing http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif

And you guys thought I was crazy for liking cars that turned left and right and revved to 18,000 rpm when they raced. If you like that eye candy you need to get to Monaco. Or maybe the Russian GP next year? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
