I forgot to mention there was a bit of classroom time, and one of the highlights was lapping as a passenger to learn line and such with the pro's. Truly amazing what those guys can do - even in a Dodge Neon.

This is the program we did:

Mark, you got a lot of fantastic shots! I like the reflection with the tanker truck. You also captured a lot of the "action" and parts of cars that I didn't. You've got the eye, my man. Keep it up. All you need is a killer zoom (70-300mm).
I wish I stayed till it got dark to capture the glowing rotors. I tell ya, I was freaking cold and burned out at sundown. I saw Paul's car gone so I did the same.

Thanks Jody.. but I took about 400 shots

I need to do some homework, learn the camera. Had too many blurred...
And couldn't get dusk/night shots even when I sped it up.
Lots of fun either way


though it was cold... so cold...

All of your camera shots were far better to look than stupido CBS coverage of this races for ALMS. They ruined that show! WTF were they thinking!!! Just show us the race and we will understand, don't make a documentary out of it, SON!!!!

It would of been good 1/2 hr before the race to summarize things....

The CBS coverage managed to take all the drama out of the race.

Awesome pictures thanks for sharing I really like the Risi Ferrari girls shot. I was wondering what they were talking about...

oh man.. Scott.

regarding the coverage, one other observation:
It looks like Michelin was a sponsor of the "film".
Oddly enough, I do not recall seeing the Falken RSR on the screen... not once.
Hmm...
