A drift train of BMW 3ers (a.k.a. E36 3-series) at #GRIDLIFE Circuit Legends shows how differently similar starting points can evolve into wild performance vehicles.

Miata Cornering
When a whole image is motion blue but a single happy Miata face, I think the sensation of speed is being pretty well-captured.
Bad Day for Miata
MiataCon is mostly a fun day for Miatas, for but these examples, the situation was a bit less optimal.
As the NASCAR fans say, “If you ain’t rubbin’, you ain’t racing’.”
Given the ingenuity of pit crews, I expect these Miatas will be back in action before we know it.
Prepping the Camera Car
This Nissan was serving as a camera car, keeping pace behind drifters and recording their antics. Though those shots are dramatic, the most engaging to me is this one of the driver preparing and consulting with another member of her team before an upcoming run.
#GRIDLIFE Up in the Air
The final decision on whether or not to attend this year’s #GRIDLIFE Circuit Legends in Lime Rock will depend on weather, meaning it’s currently up in the air. I thought I might match that with some shots from last year’s event of cars literally “up in the air.”
Maximum Tarmac Curvature
Just how curvy does a road have to get before it’s too curvy? Though opinions will vary, I’m sure, I have to guess that, from a civil engineer’s perspective, the Palms to Pines Highway must be pushing the limits.
San Diego to Palm Springs
The route over the mountains between San Diego and Palm Springs, CA 74, leads down this incredible twisting spiral of two-lane blacktop. Far in the distance, the twinkling lights of the desert valley await night travelers.
Clip the Apex
Historic Route 30 in the Columbia River Gorge is a driver’s paradise (though mixed with just the subtlest hint of peril from that wall and that hillside). In this particular image, I think that double-yellow line is perhaps showing you an insight into the driver’s mind.
On the road
Summer on the east coast is a lot different from summer on the west coast. While traveling through the tri-cities area of Tennessee I was floored by how verdant the landscape was at a time of year that the west coast is generally a virtual desert.
