It's been two months of tweaks, tuning, replacement parts and headaches but I do feel I'm just about back in the game ... Feel like a total new though. Drift alignment took me ages. Setup takes ages. Processing has been a nightmare. But I am having fun

Quite a story. Good to see you back under the stars.

Thanks a lot Mike.
Bit of HDR needed across the strip but I tried to respect the light as much as possible.
