Suzuki MPV
Suzuki sales weakened in recent years make the management needs to make new breakthroughs. Suzuki was secretly preparing a new product to compete with the current best-selling products, namely Avanza-Xenia.
Yoshiji Terada, President Director of PT Indomobil Suzuki Motor (SIM), said there were plans to launch multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) new. "The price we wanted under the USD 150 million per unit. It could compete with existing," he said in Jakarta last weekend.
Reportedly the model will use the platform from the Suzuki Concept R3 which was first exhibited in India, earlier this year. When asked about this, Terada did not give a definite answer and just nodded.
The plan, this prototype will go to Indonesia for the first time and exhibited at the International Indonesia Motor Show 2010, the end of July.
100 million U.S. dollars
For the realization of this product, go Terada, investment is needed at least 100 million U.S. dollars. Currently planning is still done in Japan and there has been no final decision.
If the project is finished scrolling, SIM plans to expand the capacity of its factory in Tambun, Bekasi, are currently only 100,000 units per year will be doubled, 200,000 units per year.
"The funding of 100 million U.S. dollars was only for the preparation of products, not including additional production capacity. If that's for sure, the investment will grow again," says Terada.
This year, Suzuki will be able to penetrate the target sales of 70,000 units. While the 2011 figure is expected to touch the maximum production capacity of 100,000 units.
"There are two options. If additional production capacity to be done, first had to build new factories or assembly facility moved motorcycles. All of it is still possible and not break. Depending principals instruction later," adds Terada.
NISSAN CEFIRO 1992
In Malaysia, some have been modified Cefiro drift style and appearance to be converted to a Nissan Skyline R32, so practically Skyfiro usual, "explains Johan Fardjito, owner of a 1992 Nissan Cefiro has undergone facial surgery Skyline R32. State advances in the drifting community neighbor, making Johan interested to build a drift spec car. After consulting with his friends, Nissan Cefiro was chosen because it is considered to be at least sip a guinea pig. "Caves select Cefiro fairly cheap because its price and body fit to convert so Skyline R32," he added. Johan went to the good fortune when he saw the Nissan Cefiro piled on the sidewalk near his home. "Caves are interested because bodY still good condition, only machines which have been spend age," he said. Not much talking, Johan borer immediately redeem the car and immediately taken to the home modification Das Auto, the number Artery Pondok Indah, South Jakarta. But apparently, the intention to convert similar Skyline R32 has been prepared by him mature. Half-cut set of components Skyline R32 has been obtained before Johan even get his car. "Though my father initially had agreed to build Cefiro baseball, but after he saw Skyline R32 half cut, I think he changed his mind," joked Johan. Incidentally, a friend of Johan provide half cut Skyline R32 stock imported directly from Malaysia. Fun again, the conversion process is not too difficult. "Just simply make a new bracket on the body just to fit the muzzle Cefiro R32 Skyline, once installed it is longer than the original face Cefiro," says Limkokwing University students this. While at the stern, Johan only use lights and rear bumper Skyline R32 GTR for later body knitted in Cefiro. "It takes a little adjustment on the bracket to be mounted lamp is perfect, baseball hard," he added. In order appear Skyline R32 more and more like the original, then the entire body of this Skyfiro painted Arctic White paint from DuPont. Since the purchase in the condition of the half cut, engine and brakes had been built package of the Nissan Skyline R32. Again the process of entering into the engine RB20DET Cefiro machine room shall mean not having constraints. There was no change at all, even though on its mounting. This is because the standard engine which is coded RB20E Cefiro has a construction similar to the engine RB20DET Nissan Skyline R32 GTS default-t. "The difference is only a baseball machine disposable Cefiro turbo back and still single (SOHC)," said Johan. In addition, to support Johan hobby to play drift later, congenital Skyline R32 manual gearbox feels better than innate Cefiro sip that uses automatic. To maximize machine performance, Johan just add artificial Mine's intercooler. "It was a direct influence to baseball's engine performance, but did cave ready make more big turbo instead of later," lid Johan. Eis, I think going to be more exciting again.

The fire was only huge for less than a second, then it died down as the oil burned up.
(Note the flying spark plug in the upper right!)
Nikon D3, 600mm, 400iso, f8, 1/1600th
I also had a remote camera set up. Here is he shot it got when the fire was still big. The main problem with the camera being so low is the heat waves give it the appearance of being out of focus.
Nikon D3, 300mm, 640iso, f10, 1/8000th
The racing went into the night that day and instead of going to the starting line like everyone else I stayed in the crane and took advantage of some really cool side lighting that rim lit the edges of the cars.

That about wraps up the March Meet for me.

My last drag race of the year ended up being the NHRA race in Las Vegas. I got a bunch of really cool shots in the weekend.
With my assistant Paul helping out we did some candid portraits using a softbox and 1600 watt Alien Bee strobe.

This race was one of the rare weekends I shot on the starting line. While you get a lot more good photos shooting on the starting line it is just dime a dozen crap that the other 20 photographers are shooting. Plus all the wild and crazy stuff happens downtrack at speed. Luckily I didn’t miss anything while on starting line and got some cool shots.

Since it was Halloween a few crew members got in on the fun by wearing their costumes on the starting line.

Tried out a few real slow shutter speed shots to see what it would produce. I was damn happy with the results.

On the last day of qualifying top fuel driver Tony Schumacher clinched the 2008 championship. While I got several of the standard boring shots of him holding the trophy I really liked this shot of him silhouetted behind the trophy.
Nikon D3, 14-24mm, 100iso, f5, 1/250th
I ended up back at the starting line due to a rain shower that I didn’t wanna be stuck in when it hit.
The ominous storm clouds above the track made for a great background to some shots.

On the actual race day I got a few shots I liked.

Tony Schumacher had a small fireball during the second round of eliminations. It was nothing big compared to what I’m used to shooting but it has nice light and it looks cool.

For the final rounds I went to the very end of the track to shoot the winners climbing from their car.
Cruz Pedregon
With all the mainstream professional sports I cover these days it has really knocked down the amount of drag racing I have been able to cover. I really love shooting drag racing so in the few events I shot this year I made it a point to work as hard as I could to produce some quality images. So here are my favorite drag racing photos of 2008.
My first drag racing event of the year was preseason NHRA testing at Firebird Raceway in Chandler, AZ. It is a great event to shoot because for starters the access is great, plus its the first chance to shoot the new cars/drivers/sponsors for the upcoming season.
Scott Kalitta does a burnout prior to a test run. Sadly Kalitta was killed a few months later in a high speed crash in New Jersey.
Nikon D300, 80-200mm, 640iso, f2.8, 1/2500th
With it being testing there are very few fans in attendance leading to the problem of empty grandstands in the backgrounds. One of the few ways to combat that issue is to shoot slow shutter speed shots to blur out the background such as in the below photo of funny car driver Tony Pedregon doing a burnout.
Nikon D300, 17-55mm, 200iso, f5.6, 1/20th
When shooting from the starting line I always try to follow the cars as they drive away in case something crazy happens like an explosion or crash. Obviously that doesn’t happen too often, but what does happen every time is all the heat waves coming off the cars as they drive away at speed. Below is a good example of that as Ashley Force thunders down track.

Tony Schumacher does a burnout during a dusk practice run.

I also spent some time down at the end of the track where the drivers climb from their cars after their run. Its not a spot many people shoot from so it provides a different perspective most don’t see.

The below shot of Del Worsham after a run came out really cool as a totally backlit shot. It gives a really unique perspective of an otherwise boring moment.
Nikon D3, 14-24mm, 200iso, f4, 1/6400th
Next drag race event for me was the March Meet in Bakersfield, CA. It is without a doubt my favorite drag racing event of the year. Instead of the cutting edge modern technology of NHRA this race is all nostalgia cars from several decades ago. The cars are wild and crazy and anythign can (and usually does) happen!
Below top fuel driver Randy Beck bounces through the shutdown area as he tries to slow down prior to crashing. Its always odd so see a vehicle doing over 200mph with all four wheels off the ground.
Nikon D3, 600mm, 400iso, f8, 1/2500th
He certainly wasn’t the only driver with his hands full bouncing all over the place as they tried to slow down.
Nikon D3, 600mm, 500iso, f5.6, 1/1000th
One of the coolest (and certainly most unique) angles I get occurs at this race as my father has made friends with a company that owns a cherry picker crane that myself and a video guy position directly over the track just past the finish line. We are about 20 feet above cars doing 260mph. It scares the hell out of you the first few times a car goes below you but once you get used to it boy is it a killer angle.
Nikon D3, 600mm, 400iso, f9, 1/1250th
Nikon D3, 600mm, 400iso, f8, 1/1250th
The view going the other way also provides a cool shot as the cars slow down with the parachutes out. Below perhaps the most famous drag racing car of all time, The Winged Express slows down following an exhibition run.
Nikon D3, 600mm, 400iso, f9, 1/1250th
I was lucky enough to be in the crane over the track where I witnessed one of the largest explosions in nostalgia racing history as Mike McLennan had a MASSIVE fireball. Unlike todays top fuel dragsters where the engine is behind the driver, the nostalgia cars have the engine two feet in front of the drivers face. Its the most literal definition of the “hot seat.”
In the first photo you will notice a cloud of oil feeding flammable liquid all over the hot headers.
It was only a matter of time until the oil would ignite….and boy did it ignite!
