Love number 3; What kind of shutter speed are you looking at to get those kind of shots??

I was actually going to go shoot at this, but they didn't want to pay any photographers so I stayed home.

Great shots!

Well without putting it in so many words, the guy was a complete dick on the phone.... I go out to cali speedway and take shots all the time, hand out flyers and the racers buy prints. But when I ran it by the guy he got all defensive and said he had people that where going to be giving out free prints.

Wasn't worth the gas for the hour and ten minute drive both ways if I wasn't even going to be able to do that!

Thanks y'all. I had to sign a waiver at the strip to get on the wall.

For most of the day I had my 70-200 on at ISO100. Most of the shutters were at 1/1000 at f/5.6. A little underexposed on a lot of the shots, but the clouds moving in and out that day made things kinda tricky... for settings at least.

And yeah, those are flames. As if the GTO wasn't awesome enough.
