How about some slalom or track pics!! Cars in action!
Another thread gave me this idea. Now lets see some of you or your friends in action!

Sigh...No contribution, not much interest in this thread. No wonder David Freiburger made comments like Pro Tourers are just bunch of posers. How could I blame him?
Not slalom, but some "rare" shots of Pro Touring cars being used like they are meant to be.
CarlC's very clean '68 at Streets of Willow
JonB69FB's 10-sec. Firebird at Streets of Willow

Alcino's MII at Buttonwillow
Above photo courtesy of Q ship.
AndrewB's GTO at Road America
Jeff S' Cadillac at Road America.
Art Morrison's '55 Chevy killing cones before it was painted.
There are also bunch of track day pics in "Events" section of the site (not the forum non-racing event section).
My own car is shown in my sig, running at Buttonwillow Raceway among M3 and Porsche. I modify my car to improve its performance and my lap times, not just to improve aesthetics and wow factors which seem to be the main focus of many people.
Almost any '50~'60s cars are capable of getting attention and sitting pretty at fairgrounds. Out of all sorts of different hot rods, only Pro Touring cars are capable of hanging on corners like late model sports cars, and only real Pro Tourers have the guts to push the limit of their PT cars to prove their true capabilities, like the owners of cars shown above.
I'll go back to Racing section now...
EDIT In response to a couple of posts below, when I say posers, I mean people who have had running cars for a while, yet refuse to take their cars to auto-x/track events and/or have their cars tested by magazines.
Those who are still trying to get their cars running are excluded (for now). I hope you guys won't be afraid of using your cars. I'd say you won't be if you care enough to post a reply in this thread.
another EDIT
Some more contributions...

If this works, https://www.pro-touring.com/forum/at...tid=3162&stc=1 Please reply if this is not viewable and whether or not you are logged in, apparently I am still having issues posting pics.
I guess I understand the comment about being a poser, but I can tell you that is a lot easier to go out and thrash on a gutted race-car than a "PT-classic". SS

Thanks for the great pics! I really am surprised there aren't any more from this site.

Poser here. Can't offer any photos. I will bookmark this page. I hope to contribute some photos in the next month or so. 
I agree I would hope there are more photos out there.

I will change the title to possibly get some more pics in here. Instead of Slalom pics how about some track pics too!
Oh I guess changing the title doesn't change on the site. hmmAdam_______Offical Car Name "ILLUSION"

I adjusted the title. Can't speak for others, but I don't have a car that's able to go out on track yet. Hopefully soon.

Ok, I have to ask.... Where in the heck did you get that picture of my car Adam? :icon996: That picture was taken last year when they were testing the car in the slalom for Super Chevy magazine. :3gears:
I guess I am confused because your profile says you are in Michigan. I am in California, it is my car, and I don't even have that picture!
Come on man...spill your guts! 
As far as the racing pictures you are requesting in this post...I leave Wednesday for the Nevada Open Road Challenge and should have plenty of them to share when I get back.
Here is me last year at the starting line getting ready to go! (Yes, the car next to me is indeed John Schneider from the Dukes of Hazard's General Lee)
See ya!

Robert,
It looks like Adam got the pic of your car from Super Chevy's website. Here is the URL of the pic: http://superchevy-web.com/features/0...69cam_06_z.jpg. Awesome car, BTW!!
