2008 MIVE Trackday @ Grattan!!
Posted by hector in Events
The annual MIVE trackday can be summed up in one word: WET. The track was slippery and the soaked grass was even worse thanks to rain that lasted all day long. While I find wet tracks to be immensely entertaining for the sheer amount of hoonage that that one can cram into one afternoon, many others did not find the wet surface quite so amusing as they slid off and became lodged firmly in the mud that was lurking just off track. Thanks to the many warm and waterproof layers I dressed in I was able to shoot all day in the cold rain and manage to stay toasty. 
Even though Canon lables the 40D “weather sealed” my camera and lens were sporting full rain jackets that worked perfectly all day long. Canon’s new digic III processor provided INSANELY accurate and lightning quick focus locks on the cars. My old 5D would routinely have problems in low light high speed situations. The new camera is quite a remarkable jump forward. I had a great time and it was nice shooting the breeze with both old friends and new!
