Finally...someone who actually gets the photo :cheers:
I'm not too sure about the top gun effect but the guy looked so happy going into the garage because it was the first "nearly dry" session after lunch :wink:

Hi-viz vest, on a trackday it's the same as wearing a "I'M A NEWB, PLEASE GIVE ME SOME SPACE!!!" sign on your back.

Superb pic, JDub! =D>

please be nice to me vest :smt102Vest marks a guy on his first trackday (or perhaps a member of the 'novice' group) so that faster guys do not stuff it up the inside of him / her without them being aware.

Yep, the first-timers wear the vests and so do the instructors...

You shouldn't need the vest, though... pink leathers will do the same!

Jdubya - wicked photography! I like pictures like that, they tell a story.

I think a track day might be coming my way in the summer....

Dont point the lense at me, I'll only fall off :(
