Default 2009 Rolex pics- thought i'd share, you wont see these anywhere else

This year was a perfect year for the Rolex- sorry Brad I didn't get by the big brown WanderBus.. This year a buddy Vic from work scored with the 8th place Childress-Howard Motorsports team. Had tons of pictures of them, that's why. Here are some shots from the banks to inside the pits.. And yes that's Danica, she packed up and said her goodbyes with 4hours to go in the race- say what you will. ( snide remarks welcomed) In the end the Brumos guys and the top 4 had a great race. Hope you all saw it, I think it was one of the best in years. Enjoy- Mike

Vic is uploading all of the pics to his website- I'll post a link later.

Wow! Awesome shots- thank you for sharing!! Looking at the damage the 58 car has sustained, I can see how it finished 12lbs underweight

Thumbs up

Great pics. The racing pics show a race, but IMHO the behind the scenes shots tell the real story that is racing. Even better if said picture includes racing’s sweetheart Danica.

I see you've posted them here, too. As I said over on the turbo forum these make mine look like they were taken with an old Instamatic.

Thanks for the compliments, Vic is a a semi-pro part time photographer... only because he loves his day job. I wish I could take all the credit but every one of these are from his camera- my camera shots are shamed by his every time.

Posting the fun photos seem only fair since I sneak over here from time to time with C4 questions- Cheers, Mike

I would be interested in hearing some of the technical details behind the camera/lens setups and settings used for the shots. Especially the night shots. I am always eager to learn.
(BTW, there is a great series of blogs on the PCA site by their star photographer that I have learned a bunch from.)
