Took another trip down to Sebring to catch some PBOC action. Unlike CHIN, these guys race each other and take it very seriously.

I'm not exactly happy with these images, but I thought some TR photogs would enjoy them. Inconsistent weather made experimenting in manual even more challenging and my usual "full track access" contact could not help with PBOC.

As always, honest C&C is appreciated!
















The brake pedal fell off during qualifying. They worked pretty hard to get it ready for the afternoon enduro.

 

dang those cars are sweet! nice pics man!

 

Thanks btuner!

Here are a few more before my head hits the keyboard. Some carts were running next door, so I walked over during the lunch break to shoot some kids hallin`ass.

 

Like you said - not as good as some of your other images yet still quite good! I'm always impressed with your panning skills.

On a day like that I may have been tempted to experiment with a graduated neutral density filter to see if you could get any detail in the sky, but that's really a long shot and quite prohibitive.

 

Thanks Chris!

Here are few more of the other cars that were running...

I think a few of you know Charlie Hamill jr. This car is pretty sick, just under 400hp

 

great pics man!

 

Anybody know what kind or engines those go-cart/race car looking things have ?


Sorry, idk what there called....

 

1.4 - 2.0hp motor.

The guy across the street from me his son does that.

Ill see if he is home this weekend and Ill get some shots of the motor for you.

They get up to 65+mph

 

Saturn is correct if you are referring to the carts. If you are referring to the actual racecars, visit Radical Sportscars - Ten Years On - 1997-2007. They are based in the UK with a distributor as close as Jupiter, Florida. The "starter" SR3 model is powered by a Suzuki 1500cc engine that revs to over 10,000 rpm, other models include the SR5 that is powered by Honda v-tech, an SR9 full spec LMP 2 car and new this year they are offering the SR10 that is a full spec LMP1 car.


And in case you are wonder about cost, there was a used, full carbon fibre bodied SR3 car (only few exist because it is a 5-7000 dollar option) for sale at Sebring last weekend for $70,000.

 

That was mine, for sale on this site!

As far as Radical's go, the base SR3 model comes with 1300cc motor, you can also get it in 1400 and 1500cc stroked; mine is the 1500cc, 250 HP. The Florida distributor for them is Radical Motorsports of Florida - Home

However, that awesome pic of the yellow car in front of all the others was me starting the race in my Juno Racing SS3-V6 which is a 3 liter 390 HP V6 based loosely on a Jaguar block but dramatically different. Unfortunately I had to retire after about 25 minutes due to a wheel bearing failure but was leading much of the race at that point.
