A white Subaru WRX drifts on a sweeping turn, on a field of ice and snow. Trees line the background, and it's overcast. Snow clouds are kicked up from the back of the car. — Ice Driving (x2)
Another shot from the final day of the event. I'm always amazed at the spots the photographers are willing to put themselves in, because their ability to get shots like these are a fantastic part of the event. All credit to them for this one - I'm just showing it off since I was driving!

A white Subaru WRX drifts around a sweeping corner on a frozen lake. Massive snow is kicked up behind it. — Ice Driving
Traveled to northern Wisconsin for the chance to get some experience with performance driving on snow and ice. One of the coolest experiences I've done. Photo is courtesy of the event photographers - they do amazing work!

Three men stand on a set of steps, cheering to each other with champagne. The orange Dirtfish text glows in the background. — Finally getting a podium
Managed to get 2nd in the RWD class at this sprint race. It might sound trivial to some people, but I'd been chasing a podium at this thing for a bit now. There's such an incredible high from knowing that you were able to actually compete and be fast - and with how fast everyone here was, it feels even better. Now to figure out moving on to bigger stages.

A black and orange sports car making a tight turn in gravel. Tires and orange cones mark the course layout, a mountain looms in the background. — Sprint Racing
Participating in a sprint race at Dirtfish. Was actually happy with my performance on this one!

From a training session, preparing for a sprint race.

A black car with orange highlights slides out of a turn. The co-driver is reading notes aloud. — Co-drivers are amazing
Rally is a unique sport where you generally have a co-driver who handles calling out pace notes (among other things). Really helpful when fatigue starts setting in!

A car slides out of the woods at high speed. Above, the blue mountains of Snoqualmie are on display. — Showcasing the area
This photo is great not just for the slide - which is certainly fun - but for the sheer expanse of the mountains in the background there. Racing around Dirtfish is an incredible experience since it's nestled in sheer natural beauty.

A black coupe with orange highlights begins to initiate a left hand sliding turn through a long flowing hairpin turn. Orange cones mark the course edges. A forest is off to the right. — Flowing hairpin
One of my favorite turns on the courses that Dirtfish tends to build. It's a long hairpin where you want to modulate the throttle to carry through.

A car kicks up dirt and smoke as it turns in the dirt. The car is a black coupe with orange highlights. — Spray
No real great title for this shot. It's a good one though - the photographers at Dirtfish are incredible at what they do.

A car begins to initiate a sliding turn to the right. Another car has exited on the next straight over and is pushing ahead. The cars are black coupes with orange Dirtfish accents. — Running laps
This shot is deceptive, since there's a long run to the right - but seeing the car in front of you at any point does get you a bit amped.

A black car with orange highlights drives through a puddle, creating massive spray. A wooden hanger is in the background. The car is driving sideways with visible counterstreer in the front left wheel. — Driving by the old hanger (3)
Hands down one of the coolest properties to race a car around. Even more sideways in this one.
