A friend that got hired on to snap pix at the BOTI events came out to take pix at our autox yesterday and posted them up for all to see. I thought Id post a few pix in here for you guys to see. Most of them turned out really well. Was very impressed with the car as this was the first event Ive taken Billboards old car out to that wasnt standing water and wet. I just went out to get some points since the b-wagon is having issues. I didnt figure on doing well, but when I left I was in second place to a 07 STi losing by a second. After I left the 3 Scricco drivers found a way to get ahead of me, and ended up 5th out of 12. Not too bad I suppose.
Mods feel free to use pix for whatever if youd like.

i hope you dont mind, but i saved some pics for my own personal enjoyment
billboard = pwnt!
Nice wagon, awesome pix. Why the hell did he sell that thing???
I tried to tell him, even though I really wanted the car. It took me 5 years to find my first wagon and 7 for this one. So I wasnt gonna try that hard to convince him that he wouldnt like the EG we traded for, but I did tell him he wouldnt be happy in an EG especially knowing the love hes got for teh ef family.
Thanks for teh comps guys. Anyone who wants the pix, go for it. I dont get that quality of pix handed to me very often, thats why I thought Id share. Besides its really cool to see your car on the header of the homepage once and a while. Still suprised its the one at EF Honda still up too. I thought that was gonna be a monthy changeout, but Im not bitching. Shit, Bill still owned the car when it first got put up there.
Oh, and the wagon is a 6-speed, not an AT. I dont do AT Hondas anymore ever, lol.
Dont really get the first/last comment, but whatever.
Thanks man!! That means a lot coming form somone that has a very sick wagon like yours. Im trading my DB1 for paint on both wagons. So hopefully by the end of summer they will look as good up close as some of the pix posted let on
No problems on the AT thing either. Sometimes we jsut get ideas in our heads and cant shake them. Kinda like wanting a wagon as a sportscar, lol.
It was funny at the event too. I had one of the announcers ask me "is that thing really awd" over the PA. I told him yes, but nobody believes me. People are still shocked to find out Honda offerd awd that long ago.
a lot of people at my events know they came AWD, which is impressive, but they're shocked when i tell them that mine is FWD.
I agree. We are lucky that such a good photog locally loves cars and all events. Not only is he a parttime photographer for Tunerzine, he is also the exclusive photog for our local dragstrip too, which somehow is NHRA's track of the year this year. Dont ask me how our strip got that title.
This is one of his sites full of a lot of the local car shows/races: http://www.spooledproductions.com/
We have such a guy locally, too. He comes to all our autocrosses, takes a thousand pics per event, and posts them free for everyone. All the autocross pics of my wagon you see on this site were shot by him - I was busy driving the car.
