Sweet! I would've loved to have seen that. I used to have a game on my Mac as a kid called "A10-Attack". It was an awesome sim for its time.

Good times today up in Loudon. Mostly green flag racing but there was plenty of passing action among the top 10 racers. Someday I'm going to rent a camper and do the whole weekend. Driving in and out the day of just doesn't complete the NASCAR experience.

Man are they f*cking loud. We had ear protection but I can't imagine sitting through a race without it. Parts of LRP can be loud but nothing like NASCAR. Restarts provide enough thunder that you feel it in your chest as they go by.

Nice...and I went to RI for the air show today. Lol!

First time shooting an air show. Here's a quick pic with plenty more to come.

Great shots man, I almost went with some friends... but... apparently never did LOL looked like a good show!
 
A-10 Warthog is my favorite plane of all time..... I love this styling and the payload they can carry. My best friend in the Army has told me that the fire power they lay down is truly amazing to see in person.... I can only imagine from his description and your photo. ;)

Any photo of a plane at Mach makes me happy. When the plane hits this type of speed, they usually create the mist effect around the plane as such.

Awesome shots Josh and I wish I could have joined you, but I was busy with on call stuff on Sat. I'm jealous because I really wanted to go. :(
 
Chris...A-10 is by far my favorite too. Obviously I've never seen it fire in person but just watching it on video makes me glad it's on OUR side.

For those who don't know, this beast fires 30mm rounds up to 70 rounds per second.

If it's far enough away when it fires you hear the bullets hitting before you hear the cannon fire. What a person on the ground experiences is a crazy hailstorm of bullets and then what sounds like the plane roaring...sends a frigging chill down your spine.

Here's a 6 second video of what I'm talking about.

I was on the Vineyard and didn't bring my computer with me. I get the feeling we generally all post while we're at work anyways.

Friday night I managed to make it from Worcester to the Bourne Bridge in an hour and then sailed right into the ferry parking lot. I used to spend all my time on the cape as a kid and never saw such little traffic. Even on the way out Sunday afternoon traffic was fine until 495 was shut down for 45 minutes...traffic karma.

For the record the AC in the 8 sucks when the cars not moving.

Known issue.. that happens when they stick the high pressure AC lines directly above the engine.. heat soak... you can help it by wrapping it in reflective foil



I installed a nitrous kit in an rx8 on saturday and did a ton of work to the truck
 
Morning all.. what a weekend!!.. about to start my Blow Thru Maf install in about an hour or so.. shouldnt take too long.. Josh those shots look amazing, nice job!!!!
