Gumball in Toronto

[Dougboy]

Managed to snap some pics last night when the Gumballers arrived. Not the best pics due to equipment/skills limitation

But here they are.

Thanks for looking The rest can be seen here http://dougboy.smugmug.com/Automotive/Gumball-3000/12099383_YJTjL#859808883_4GaTm

Nice pictures. I got to the parking later while it was mobbed with people, but I was out at the track and manged to get a lot of pictures with out many people.

Hope you don't mind mine in here.

All were taken at Shannonville Race Park about two hours out of Toronto.

Stretch Volvo

We also got a free drift demo by the Candian Drift team.

Later I went to the grandstands whiched turned out to be a perfect spot.

Some cars ran laps every once and awhile

that 1970 Super Bee is quite nice.

 

[Dougboy]

I guess everyone has different taste but to most folks, a super bee wouldnt even catch their eyes in a field of uber cars. I had to scroll up and down twice just to find it lol

Did you guys see any celebrities? I know of a few that were entered in the Rally, but I don't know what they are driving.

 

[NISM0_SKYLINE]

The Super Bee wan't too bad. I really didn't look at it either since I've seen so many of them.

I didn't see any celebrities since I didn't know what cars to look for. I probably saw some in their cars, but I didn't see them with my eyes/camera.

Is there a core group of racers still running the rally or are the glory days of this thing over?

 

[exigeracer]

Argh. I thought Gumball was this weekend. Guess I missed it, and there was an Aeromax as well!!

Good shots. I did see the matte black 430 and yellow Superleggera yesterday, didn't know they were part of the rally though.

120 cars a year seems pretty strong. I don't think it's going anywhere any time soon.

 

[Keef]

I'm talking about serious competitors, like Alex Roy and all the guys he used to race with. Do any of those competitive shenanigans go on anymore?

 

[astrosdude91]

Alex Roy isn't doing it, he's doing stuff for Fast Lane Daily. Shame, it isn't Gumball without Polizei 144.

That (presumably an) SV with the roof box, while weird, for me, is all kinds of win.

It is an SV. It belongs to Jon Olsson a reasonably famous freeskier. He even drives it in the snow: another great shot here. He also has a videoblog where you can see some video in Toronto and the other stops.

I'll post some of my own shots here today or tomorrow. Probably tomorrow. (Though I'll be saving the best of the best for the Auto Competitions. Hehe.)

 

[NISM0_SKYLINE]

Wait! There's no rules against using pictures you've already posted is there?

No, there isn't. I'm just secretive.

 

[NISM0_SKYLINE]

Oh, ok. I though/hoped that was the reason

But here they are.

I think you did a very good job with them, it was a challenging situation, and some of my best shots weren't of the cars taking part.

Anyway, these are the ones I'm going to show for now. Essentially my throw-away shots - but they are the best of the throw-aways, I assure you.

Holy thread revival. But very nice pics mv10 Great perspective on the event instead of just being snaps.

[Cano]
