10 12 pm pdt   [ racing II ]

Today was our second day racing [see racing day #1], and I will try to post the footage I shot tomorrow. Matthew and I set off early with our requisite trip to the gas station to put air in the tires. I took a lot of photos, most of which I will include without caption, because they are really meant to capture the mood, not the specifics. As you can see, there are a lot of boys of all ages, with cars of many varieties (though there were more Subaru WRX's than anything else in Matthew's class). Most boys were white or Asian. Many brought racing tires to change onto their cars. Others, like Matthew, simply removed the spare tire to make the car lighter. We were again in the parking lot of the Oakland coliseum.

Matthew has tape to stick his number to the car. He was very happy to be 330.

I think Matthew's car looks like a butterfly:

Sun spots on Matthew and I look like an idiot because my helmet wasn't pushed down at all.

In my glasses you can see the reflection of my outstretched arms holding the camera:

58.991   58.069   59.196

At the gas station again, filling up after the race.
