I May Not be Awesome...But My Helmet Certainly Is.



The epic ongoing saga of my helmet's defacing is in year two now and what a lineup up of epic racing drivers that star this year. 

Living legend Johnny O'Connell piloting the earth moving #3 Cadillac Racing CTS-V.R.  He has way too many career highlights that I cannot go through them all here.

The second factory driver and just as much of a legend as his teammate, racing for Cadillac Racing in the #8 CTS-V.R, Andy Pilgrim.

And making a complete surprise appearance on my helmet, a driver who raced in the 24 hours of Le Mans and is one of the fastest racers in the IMSA Tudor Racing Series in the super competitive GTLM class.  He came from his regular #93 SRT Viper GTS-R viper to race on the Streets of Toronto in the classic red and white striped liveried #97 Viper GT3-R, factory driver for SRT Motorsports, Kuno Wittmer.

This was a great chapter to the story of my helmet, and the rest of the 2014 Honda Indy story is coming up soon.

This was also a milestone for my blog as this entire post was completed using nothing but mobile apps other than an upload issue with the Blogger app that would not upload my photos. (I'm working on that issue), and a couple of the graphics I used.

Because it takes my laptop five minutes to boot up I have decided to experiment with this, and hopefully I willl be able to do this entirely on a mobile device in the future.

All the photos were taken on my Moto-G phone.  I used Aviary and Photoshop Mobile for the photo manipulation, and I used Photo for the text compositing.  What a world we live in where I can do all of this on a 4x2.5 inch screen.
