Another great day at Eastern Creek was had by all.

But not long after I got there I was asked to stand in for the official track photographer that couldn’t make it. So I was torn between camera and car… oh what a dilemma.

Anyways, the results are more “lifestyle” shots rather than the usual “just another car zooming past” stuff.

Thanks to Aussie Exotics member mhh for forcing me to finally face my demons and make me drive his daily-hack 911.

These vehicles have been sold.
