Dream Machines Photo Update

Parak · March 27, 2009

Hi All

It was very thrilling to watch the actions in the Clipsal 500 race. There were formula 3 , Australian GT , V8 races and Holden ute burnouts, Ducati Motor bike burn out, wheeling, riding on the front wheel etc.

Holden Ute burn out with bit of dragging was amazing. Two utes did burn outs in the 3 lane track nearly missing the safty walls. In few seconds cars disappear in the smoke. Other interesting thing is to watch low flying F-18. Airforce F-18 flying just above the tree line at supersonic speed was mind blowing. Then it did a slow flying session that some people were able to take some photos.

Nissan Skyline GTR was the pace car for the V8 racing. Dream machines did few laps on the track. As they are not race modified could not feel the grunt at all. Probably the owners drove them around (I guess).

Pageni Zonda was the main attraction and is the most expensive of all. (1,400,000 A$ roughly 103 million Rs. Could cost double in SriLanka because of tax)

I had to use one of my old cameras with dead body battery(that's why photos show wrong date ). They are not great photos anyway. I am trying to upload them. If this doesn't work I will try in another time.
