1999 Mach 5
Prototype (Speed Racer)
the Mach 5 has been described as "the most famous race car in the world" because of the continuing popularity of the 1967 Speed Racer cartoon series, which has an estimated fan base of 50 million people. In 2000, this three dimensional interpretation of the cartoon Mach 5 completed a nationwide automotive safety tour sponsored by the Child Safety Network. Speed Racer Motors later unveiled plans to build a Signature Series of 100 road-ready Mach 5's numbered and signed by Peter Fernandez, the voice actor and creative force behind the Speed Racer cartoons. Unlike this prototype which has a mid-engine, the Corvette-based "production" roadsters will feature a 5.7 liter, 385 horsepower V-8 engine mounted in the front.

The RNS-315 can show posted speed limits. I wouldn't count on it being right all the time, but it's always been right so far.
(No, I wasn't driving while taking these pictures. I used the unit's demo mode.)
Mears, Michigan– Out on the dunes there where various machines of mobile entertainment traveling at freakishly high speeds. I stayed safe in the confines of a Jeep.

Shot through lowered gauze window blinds on a Eurostar train going at about 300km/h between Calais and Paris. Kinda experimental.
Imagine you ought to reach a place b'cause you are all tired and feeling droopy and then you see this clear road and think to yourself, ah what a sight, setting crescent moon, loads of stars, no one would notice and if you mould on the pedal. Next thing you notice is its not you who is driving the car and all you can do is only dream of it :D
Mooresville, NC - The engine that is propelling the Detroit Speed team forward is showing no signs of slowing down as the team took the Test Cars to Road America in Elkhart Lake, WI and dominated. Kyle swept the GTV class in the DSE 1970 Camaro Test Car on the way to a comfortable 1st place overall in the class. Not to be outdone was DSE Engineer, Ryan Mathews, driving the DSE 2012 White Monster Camaro Test Car. Ryan Mathews took home two of the three racing events in the GT class to edge out the 2nd place finisher by 109.6667 - 107.40.
It was a busy three days for the team as this event is a little different than other events. The NASCAR Xfinity race took place on Saturday at Road America meaning all official timed events are compressed into one day as apposed to two days for all other events.
The weekend officially kicked off Friday afternoon in Milwaukee at Johnson Controls, which is Optima Batteries Headquarters, for a car show and a hot dog lunch. Following this the competitors moved down the street to Andrew Chevrolet for the Holley Welcome Party and registration. Saturday started with all the competitors being treated to a special tour of the Snap On plant in Milwaukee. It was a really great tour, we appreciate everyone at Snap On for their hospitality.
After the tour, all the competitors piled back into their street machines and made the trip to Road America where they were treated with Xfinity series passes to watch the race.
Well, it was finally here and it was going to be a busy day. All timed events would be taking place that day and with so many cars it was going to be a challenge. Tucker Kyle finished with the highest points total for the weekend out of all classes with a score of 119.7333 which gave him the GTV class win and might have just wrapped up the regular season GTV championship. Our good friend, Mike Maier, ran hard all weekend and finished 2nd while Jake Rozelle finished 3rd in his DSE "Equipped" 1969 Camaro. Since the top three places in the GTV class already have their season ending invites wrapped up, the invite went to Danny King in his DSE "Equipped" 1969 Camaro with his 4th place finish.
Ryan Mathews was able to wrap up the GT class with a first place finish in the BFGoodrich Hot Lap along with a victory in the Detroit Speed sponsored autocross. Stacy Tucker was also in the GT class shaking out her 2008 FR500S Mustang. She ran hard and ended up with a 9th place finish in the Hot Lap.
Next up for the team is a trip to Bowling Green, KY for the Holley LS Fest September 11th - 13th.

The Southern California Timing Association hosted the 68th Annual Speed Week on the Bonneville Salt Flats in the West Desert of Utah.
I went down to Laguna Seca late last month to check out the Speed Ventures track day and Radical Sports car and EXR races. I took a bunch of photos digitally (to be posted shortly), but also brought along a new-to-me old film SLR; a Nikon F-801s. I thought this was supposed to AF with all of my Nikkor lenses, but it wouldn't work for me; so pardon some missed-focus shots; I had to do it manually. If R1 is in the image name, it was taken on Agfa Photo Vista 200; R2 was Ektar 100. Taken with one of the following lenses:
Nikon 24mm f/1.8G
Nikon 50mm f/1.8D
Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 VR II
Nikon 300mm f/2.8 VR I
There's not many modern designed bikes that 'do it for me' , Triumph's Speed Triple is definitely one of them along with Ducati's Monster www.flickr.com/photos/gs3vespa/5561715724/in/set-72157622...
