Default Pics from Road America Runoffs STO/T1 2012--The last one is unreal !!!
Here are some nice pics from the runoffs STO/T1 race. I spent most of the time watching in T12 where these shots were taken. Joe A did a great job maintaining control of his car after getting hit (last pic). Oli (great to finally meet you!) did a nice job staying clean there as well.

All photo credits go to Richard Coburn who graciously posted them for free after I asked him for a few specific shots.

Looks like right front tire on 79 Kylle Kelly's car is about to come off rim.

GREAT pictures... I was not so pissed... That was just good close hard racing... ahem. If I was afraid of a little bit of contact i would go play golf or something!!!

And besides, we all know that Tom slos is not sloe!!!

For those of you who want to race, come on and do it. Its lots of fun.

Joe, depending on who you're playing with, golf could be more dangerous.

Like we discussed, you couldn't position those cars for a still shot better if you tried.

I still think it's better to use your brakes to stop!
