Phillip Island December 2010

[Miss Alfa Sprint]

That was Marisa Gangemi (Miss Alfa Sprint)

Hi Aggie57,
I contacted Marisa, and she was actually on Honda Corner (but was a good contact as she also got lots of good shots; thanks).

Does anyone else have any idea who may have been the photographer at the flag-point at the corner immediately after MG (being turn 11)?

Cheers,
Chris

Hi folks, that would have been me (another Chris). I'm with the mx5 club and was flagging at MG all day.
(Damn that got cold at times!)
I've uploaded all my pics to a photobucket account.

If you want a higher resolution copy, send me a pm and include the pic number.
The pic number will look like this "IMG_1234" and can be found by hovering your mouse pointer over the thumbnail in the gallery view. It is directly under the thumbnail pic.

Please be patient, it might take a little while to get emails through to those that want them, as my pc has died a terrible death and I am working on a crappy old laptop.

Well done to Neil and all the crew who once again organized a fantastic event!!

Cheers
Chris S.

Well done Chris,

You have some really awesome shots there!!! Great to see photos from another part of the track 

I know what you mean about the cold! i was freezing and my camera got wet 

I can share your pain about the computer, mine is just about to die trying to load all my photos...

Thanks Marisa,
Are you hosting your pics somewhere on line? I'd love to see them, as would the other mx5 guys.
I hope there's no damage to your camera from the rain!!!


I'm fairly sure that it took me at least an hour to thaw out in the car!

Hi Chris,

I am only posting a few photos on here for now because i am actually looking at getting my own website set up next year sometime, but if the mx5 club has a forum and they wouldn't mind me joining, i'd be more than happy to post up pics there from Phillip Island and also Sandown

There's a reason they call that particular corner Siberia.

As a matter of interest, which direction was the wind coming from down there?

[Miss Alfa Sprint]

Ok as some of you may know, i was at Honda Corner on Sunday and lets just say i got a fair few photos of some spins and off road action of you guys!

So i'd like to start with one of my personal favourite cars #31 !!

Marisa, that is a fantastic series of pics, sometimes you just happen to be pointing at the right spot at the right time!!!!!

The national forum for mx5's is this, http://www.mx5cartalk.com/index.php and the thread regarding Sundays sprints is here http://mx5cartalk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=68&t=42712
I know the guys would love to see some of your pics from the weekend.

Also there were a few other mx5 guys taking pics as well, their photos will probably start to turn up in that thread as well.
Cheers
Chris

Wow!, grouse photos Marisa! Awesome timing with the spin. After it happened I remembered you were there, I'm surprised you didn't get one of me waving hello. Obviously I meant to do that, just in case you were getting bored.  Well done, especially in the cold and rain of the morning. My video wasn't working that run so I didn't get the spin on video, from the outside the car looks surprisingly good doing a 360. 
Thanks Frank.

Just thought I'd hijack the thread with a video of my last run, just for fun

Some nice footage there. I got some myself including my rainy excursion. however, still battling wind noise with my camera.

I've got some pictures from the weekend but they're big files.  Is there an easy way to convert them into thumbnails so people can see what I've got?
