Love the shots. Excellent feeling of motion. The colors are amazing. I also like how you were able to capture the detail.

I had the unpleasant opportunity at the Gatornationals one year to take a tour in Scott Weis's pit and the car next to us was running their engine. About passed out six times in one minute and am afraid of the place now. Had media credentials, but when the people in willcall tried to give me the media vest, I handed it back and walked out. I love racing, but that nitro **** is just too much. Whne I'm standing there normal and some guy walkes up to me with some biological warfare gas mask on, I knew something wasn't good.

Besides, I was happy with the shots I took from the stands that year.

That's what pro racing is all about. Yeah it burns your eyes, nose and mouth, but when I watch the pros I always try to watch at least one engine warm up. Where else on this planet can you stand that close to 8,000HP!!:)
