::Photos:: Exotic Car Runway Event - '09
 
Runway Event 2009


I had the opportunity to photograph this particular event recently. It consisted of 2 miles of open runway, tens of millions of dollars in super cars, and legally racing to 200mph...what more could you want?

Many many more photos can be located here: Chris Grosser Photography

My quick summary of the entire 12 hours of racing madness on my blog: 200MPH - The New Standard?


One blog that has picked up my work and article already, courtesy of Automotive Addicts: 200MPH Club: The Benchmark Has Been Set - Can You Keep Up?

Some photos I took to give you guys a glimpse of the madness from that day:


215mph? No problem in the Saleen S7:

World famous Sharpie Lambo:

TT Gallardo from Underground Racing - speculated at 1300+hp. I wouldn't doubt it for a second. Not too many cars were willing to race him throughout the day. :D

My good friend's Bentley in which he took me for a ride in and we hit 175mph....with air conditioning blowing at full force. :)

Me too.

It worked out in the end. No helicopter footage as I had hoped though. :(

Regardless, I still got to snag a ride in one car though. Better than nothing!

I appreciate it!

I still haven't heard from Sebring yet. I put in my application for credentials a couple weeks back but won't know if I get them or not until very close to race day.

Either way, I will be bringing my camera gear and providing coverage for you guys! :)

Glad you like the photos! We have some ideas in mind for using this runway for an event in the future.
