The past weekend saw a lot of great racing at the Bira Circuit just outside Pattaya on Highway 36 which goes towards Rayong.
Some of the best race car drivers in Thailand were gathered to race and compete for the 2014 Thailand National Championship .
Over 150 cars had been entered into different classes ranging from the small Eco car class cars to the big powerful and fully modified Pick-ups and Touring Cars.
The biggest event of the day was the Pro Car Class, which is comprised of 1500 cc and 1600 cc Production cars made in an ASEAN country after 2005.
The cars race each other and even though some have bigger cc engines there balance of performance system with extra weight to the more powerful cars makes the class and cars very evenly matched which again makes for great and close racing.
Inspire Magazine’s car from CEA Racing had been showing great speed in the Friday practice sessions setting several new personal fastest laps several times during the day, so expectations were high before the qualifying sessions.
Thomas Raldorf who is the driver of the CRA Racing Car in the Pro Car class did not disappoint, as he on his first lap out set the pace for everybody else to try and match.
After the Qualifying was over Thomas had only qualified his car on the front row in second place and would have a great starting point for the 1st race Sunday morning.
Having raced in Scandinavia for many years in both rain and snowy conditions Thomas always fancies when it rains in Thailand and was hoping that the rain would be around the track during Sunday as it had been all week.
Come Sunday morning the track was wet for the first few races but then dried up and stayed dry the rest of the day, so Thomas and CEA Racing knew that they would have to try and fight it out on a dry track.
At the start of Race 1 Thomas was up alongside the leading car down towards the first corner but had to concede as he was on the outside into the corner and slotted into 2nd were he was able to stay for the rest of the race, although he was under considerable pressure from the driver in 3rd for the last 4 laps of the race.
Between the 1st and the 2nd race of the day a few adjustment was made to the car for better handling and the car was back on the grid with Thomas starting from 2nd row in 3rd place for the 2nd race .
Regulations state that the driver with the fastest single lap in Race 1 will start on Pole Position for the 2nd Race of the day, and since CEA Racing had 3rd fastest lap in Race 1, they had to start 3rd although they had finished Race 1 in 2nd place.
At the start for Race 2, Thomas was all geared up and ready to challenge for the win again, and what a start he had…….
Thomas shot out of his starting grid like a rocket and went straight up between the driver in 1st and 2nd and took over the lead of the race before the first corner. Over the next few laps Thomas managed to pull out a gap of more than 100 Mtrs down to the 2nd and 3rd placed drivers as they were fighting with each other for positions.
Unfortunately an accident further down the grid caused the Safety Car to come out on Lap 3 and all the space he had gained was suddenly lost, as everybody was bunched up behind the safety car.
At the Restart Thomas again had a very good start and was able to stay in the lead but was not able to break away from the driver in 2nd place, as he was having to drive very defensively .
On lap 7 of the race The driver in 2nd managed to squeeze himself up beside Thomas in turn 2 and then an intense fight for the lead saw the 2 cars side by side with only a few centimeters between then trough the next few corners until Thomas eventually had to give up his position to avoid running of the track. This unfortunately allowed the train of cars behind to also pass and Thomas had to slot into 4th and take of the challenge again.
The next 5 laps was very thrilling with the 4 cars fighting for position almost every single corner and eventually finishing with 0.011 seconds between the 1st and 2nd placed cars.
CEA Racing and Thomas never really recovered and finished in 4th less than a second behind the winning car.
Next race will be held on the 22nd and 23rd of November in Buriram on the new FIA Grade 1 Race circuit which has been built for bringing International Motorsport to Thailand.

A Ryanair Boeing 737-800 streaks past the window of Air France Airbus A321-200 F-GTAE en route from Prague to Paris.
The sign describes the different layers as follows:
Grey, dark green and violet-like colours belong to maritime sedimentary rocks. They are the oldest found in the Jujuy Province and belong to the Precambrian Eocambrian Period (600 million years old).
Purple, dark pink and whitish colours are also of maritime origin. They are quartzite and quartzite sandstones from the Superior Cambrian Period (540 million years old).
Colours going from light grey to yellowish belong to outcroppings of clayish sandstones and shales from the Ordovician Period (505 million years old).
Red colours are rocks belonging to the Cretaceous Period (144 to 65 million years old). The rock has the presence of conglomerated gravel and sandstone.
Reddish colours going to light pink belong to more recent clays and sandstones from the Tertiary Period (21 to 65 million years old).
A bald eagle is flanked on one side by a male Baltimore oriole (who tried to be a bad ass and scare him off) and the fading moon. It's rare I get a chance to find and photograph eagles. It's even more rare to get a chance to have a nearly full moon in the frame with the eagle. It's just a shame the moon isn't more prominent in this image. Just trying to be a little 'artsy'.

The Maid of the Mist is a boat tour of Niagara Falls. (The actual boats used are each named Maid of the Mist, followed by a different Roman numeral in each case.) The boat starts off at a calm part of the Niagara River, near the Rainbow Bridge, and takes its passengers past the American and Bridal Veil Falls, then into the dense mist of spray inside the curve of the Horseshoe Falls, also known as the Canadian Falls. The tour is available starting from either the Canadian or American side of the river, returning to the starting point in each case.

Biography:
I am a fine art photographer who believes that taking the photograph is just the beginning of the creative process. I might use textured layers or painterly filters to enhance and create an image closer to my artistic vision. My images usually contain strong composition, bright colors and heavy textures, although I have recently been producing more black and white images.
I am a member of the 81Bees Photography Collective, which was started by students at CCSF taking the 81B Advanced Black and White Darkroom Techniques.
I have shown my images at various galleries in San Francisco, including: A. Muse, SF Photobooth and Harvey Milk Photo Center, among others.
CCSF Photography and You:
I have always been interested in photography, from both peering through the viewfinder and looking at beautiful images created by others. From a very young age I was the family photographer, insisting everyone pose for a family portrait at all of our holidays. But that was basically it, I never took photography seriously.
When digital photography became popular I started to get interested in understanding the technical aspects of photography to become a better photographer. I did not realize when I signed up for my first photography course at CCSF that I had hit the jackpot! In 2007 I signed up for, appropriately, beginning photography and found out that CCSF has a top notch photography department.
After I took that first course I knew that I wasn't interested in a photography degree I just wanted to learn everything...everything...about photography, to take every course offered about photography at CCSF. And over the five years that I’ve taken courses I pretty much have taken all CCSF has to offer regarding that subject!
I discovered that I really love digital photography, but I enjoyed learning about film and chemical development too. I discovered that I’m not that interested in studio lighting but love ambient lighting, mostly because I would rather be outdoors than inside all day. And if I am inside I would rather use window lighting. I learned so much, and discovered that there’s still so much more to know.
I especially loved learning about all the options available to create unique images, to make the images captured your own, the way you see them, which may be different than how the camera see them. I am still exploring and learning to put my unique touch to my images and CCSF has been an invaluable asset in helping me obtain this goal.
"Funeral of President Lincoln Washington" from the MOLLUS-Mass collection, Volume 44, page 2200R
As I continue to experience issues with the U.S. Army Heritage and Education Center search engine, in finding specific items in their collection, I thought it might be of benefit to others (i.e., Civil War photo buffs) to post this page, which contains four different views of Lincoln's D.C funeral procession of April 19, 1865. I've annotated how each image here relates to the negatives held by the Library of Congress.
The image in the lower left corner is the "missing" right half (left side in a red cyan anaglyph) to the Library of Congress call number LC-BH823- 145. The LOC does not indicate that this image is from a stereograph, and just looking at it, it appears to have a portrait oriented aspect ratio, different than the landscape oriented matching half seen here from MOLLU-Mass. After determining that they make perfect 3D, it's clear that the Library of Congress LH-BH823- 145 is from a 4x10 stereo glass plate just like the two full stereographs in their collection, LC-B815-1275, and LC-B815-1273.
If you view the LOC half on their website, it's also clear that some portion of this half stereo was cropped out (or broken and missing) in the scanning. Obvious because of the different aspect ratio and the width of the scene - the Capitol is almost totally cropped out on the right and on the left there are many more buildings visible in the MOLLUS-Mass print. My theory is that they only scanned what they thought was the useable portion of the half negative. It's also of note that the LOC scanned this half stereo at four times the resolution of a half stereo from either of their two full stereo 4x10 inch glass plates. If I was able to pick two negatives for the LOC to rescan at a higher resolution, it would be these two full stereographs (links below) due to the presence of the Bell & Bro photographers (with their cameras) atop the roof of their gallery, in the far distance.
All four images, seen here on this MOLLUS-Mass page were full stereographs, most likely all taken by the same camera.
