Some of My Pictures From This Year

I'm new here, so I don't know if this is frowned upon or what not, but here are some pictures I took at Mid Ohio and Schenley Park this year.

Great pictures, especially the wheel lifting Abarth. Schenley Park looks great but looks as if it's a sprint course rather than a race circuit.

It's only a race circuit once a year. About 2.3 miles, 20 corners (including 2 downhill switchbacks with fieldstone walls both sides!). My father used to run his '32 Morgan trike there, and I have run my Dreossi FJr a number of times. The haybales let you know where the sewer grates are.

I'm fairly certain it's the last 'true' street circuit in the world. There are only hay bales on some of the trees. A few years ago they had some BMW CSL's there since BMW was the marque of the year. Those were pretty cool to see.

Not sure anyone would get away with the unprotected kerbs in Europe. They are also quite low kerbs - don't see too many of them around these days.

Would Phoenix Park come close to the concept of barely protected regular roads? (Except they are in a park of course, but "straw bales" concepts and so on.)
