Bit of an oil leak (Japfest 2007)

[ukaskew]

This guy had "a bit of an off" after suffering a minor oil leak...for about a mile:

Quite a day, huge crowds and about 2000 cars on display. I can now tick off "seeing a UK NSX airborne" on my things I've seen in my lifetime list. Hell of a crash, very scary.


and some normal stuff:

quality pics
boy i was talking to last night was heading down for it

 

[ALmO]

Yup my old man and I were there today, that Evo ended up on a jack by the cafe.

Was there today saw the Zen powerred scooby and the black RX7 drift car both go up in smoke :dapprove:

Was speaking to the guy with the blue evo, running over 500bhp on low boost, fortunately all that happened was the oil filter came loose and dumped the oil :hail:

Excellant pics by the way.

Approx 20 yards up the track after this pic and the rx7 was in flames

 

[ukaskew]

Bloody hell, didn't notice that. Got some nice pics of that one as well, haven't sorted them all yet but found another good one...

Was this the Scooby that went up in smoke...? Fast as hell but sounded a bit rough on occasions.

I was at Avon Rise and Quarry for most of the day, I saw smoke over at Bobbies a few times, I assume that is where both incidents happened. Did you see the NSX roll? Hell of a crash.

[paul_h172]

Didn't find it, 2000 bloody cars on display. I should have taken his phone number

 

[clio__chris]

i was there too with my gfs swift (swift owners club)

was a good day! got sun burnt yet again....... really must remember to take sun cream even if its raining!

 

[rctempire]

What happened to the RX? Looks a goo advert for the brake pad stickers on the side.

Where was this?

 

[MaLicE]

rx apparantly on its first run a tyre popped... thought is that a bit of rubber cut a fuel line, second time out people saw fuel pissing out as it left the pits then it went up in flames...

nsx lost it on a corner looked like he caught it then it all went bad, slid off the track across some grass, hit the tyre wall bounced up in the air, rolled on its roof then back on to the wheels... driver is ok or so everyone is saying.

It was a great day yesterday.

I missed the NSX crash, it sounded bad. The NSX drivers seemed the most carefull of the bunch as well.

The blue scooby was quick as hell, such a shame for it to catch fire. The owner had a bad day, his toll care (a forester) broke down in the pits too..

Simon Norris's Evo was flying.

Simon Norris's Evo was flying.

Acceleration on that thing was savage! Couldn't believe how quick it was. What's the deal with the Escort (Reyland), Jap engine or something? Just wondered as it was the only non-Jap car I seen all day.

Reyland cossie was a proper cossie. DOnt know why he was allowed on track.

it wasnt THE reyland cossie though, martin hasnt unleashed that yet even though its built

It certainly was!

I think the blue scobby was not far off though before it was on fire of course

The real one runs a skyline gearbox, but as you say it hasn't been out properly yet (last time I heard they had a few probs with some parts on it)

There looked to be some mad cars at the show, i'm loving the rx7's :approve:

 

[ukaskew]

Finished editing the rest last night, pretty happy with them...

Evo on the brakes

I had a bit of a cough after this shot

Mini tripod from an Integra

Beast of a Skyline

And I wanted this shot all day, close up pan with car at 100mph+, nailed it a few times but these are the best

They are awesome photos mate, what camera and lense are you using?

Nikon D50 (I was in a shop yesterday and I guy completely dismissed the D50 because it was 'only 6 megapixels', I could have screamed )

I use a Nikon 80-200mm 2.8 AF-S (second hand bargain of the century) and a Nikon TC-14 EII teleconverter, giving me a 110-280mm f4.

 

[Bluebeard]

I was a quarry the majority of the day, and boy did that thing not sound good. The engine was tapping like mad going round the corner, thought it was going to go pop at any minute.....

 

[ukaskew]

I enjoyed the sound of the Zen Scooby when it was on its outlaps, sounded like a bloody machine gun!

 

[cat171]

excellent pics there ukaskew

 

[Englebert]

Yeah, very nice!

 

[lanky]

Looks like a good day. ukaskew them pics are awesome, them ones of the front of the cars must take some serious skills/

Figuring out where the cars normally pass, patience, timing, and a s**t load of luck

 

[cat171]

It certainly paid off, as i said earlier on,they are excellent

 

[Nafoff]

nice work chris.....will have to meet up soon for some tutorials and shots of the new motor,.......hopefully

oh yeah still need to get that card off you

 

[Peperami]

Awesome pics chris, good effort mate.

Gutted i mised this.

 

[Anim@l]

Mint photos as per usual Chris. I haven't tried much panning really. It's rather difficult to come away with good results. I did some panning work at the Air Tattoo at Fairford last summer, but that's about it really.

 

[kully]

lovely pics ......very nice motors indeed
