First time with NASCAR garage pass, any tips??

So... I guess the planets were all aligned properly, I ended up taking a chance and emailing New Hampshire Motor Speedway to ask for even just a limited garage pass because I want to start motorsports photography (which I do...), and somehow they said they would give me a cold pass, so I am VERY excited!!!

Was wondering if anyone had any tips to share about what to expect and such.

I am going to bring my 7D and keep the 70-200 with extender attached, for shots during the race, and maybe long shots in the garage area if needed, and I am trying to get a used 5D Classic and will use my 24-70 on that. Was also going to keem my 10-22 handy.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!!!!

The race cars have the right of way. If you get run over, it's your fault.

It's a cold pass, so he probably won't have to worry about cars moving under their own power in the pits. At least that's how I understand the hot vs. cold pass thing at Cup races nowadays. It's still a good idea to pay attention and make sure you stay out of the crew's way.

Oh yea, I definitely will. It was VERY nice of them to grant me this opportunity, so I will play by the book, which is what I always do anyway. Being a huge NASCAR fan, it's going to be tough to not get caught up in the excitement of seeing and meeting everyone there.

Give Jimmie Johnson a swift kick in his rear bumper if you get close enough and tell him to keep his pie hole shut.

Lol..

Here's a link to the shots from that weekend:
