I love it, I was thinking about going myself, but didnt get there.
What turn was this taken at?
What camera gear do you use?

well done indeed! I was over at the East Coast nationals getting my eardrums removed by the nitro cars. I wish I had have gone to both events now. :o

Thanks for the great comments everyone. I had a ball as this was my second time shooting motor sports.

What turn was this taken at?

This was Turn 6


What camera gear do you use?

This was taken with a 1D Mark III and a 500mm f4 IS on a Wimberly Sidekick gimbal head.

Yep they certainly did...

Thanks everyone. I appreciate the feedback from those more experienced than me.

I really don't know what the go is there Christian, I had real issues getting a sharp shot from that one lens, but the one I purchased is critically sharp on both the 5D and the MKIII.

I think I made the right decision on length and Fstop as the 600 may have been too long and the F2.8 was too heavy.

Thanks again.
