Lightbulb 24 Hrs at Great Glen Input & Ideas

I just got asked to be the Official Photographer of the 24 Hrs. At Great Glen witch is a Mt Bike Race for 24hrs at the base of Mt. Washington In New Hampshire.
My Q is that i would like to set up a booth and mabey offer photos from a printer set up with my laptop and then post them online later. (Where to easly post online that can take orders for me?) I was wondering from the ppl that mabey have done this same thing or had any ideas!!

Thanks alot

There are quite a few image sharing sites that will allow you to do this. Smugmug seems to be one of the more popular sites these days. There is a sticky that covers alot of these sites. Have a look at -- this --

I have shot at some world cup downhill bicycle races for the past few years. There have been a couple of booths doing what you are intending on doing. They do not have an "official photographer" but a whole host of us which are accredited to shoot within the areas the general public aren't. I have spoken with the one fellow that was running a booth and he said his results were not all that great with respect to sales. You would have to make sure that you are easily found and you will obviously have to have some staff to man the booth if you are shooting. Good luck.
