The new IMSA conglomeration of american lemans and the rolex series is there. Along with a few other series'. Continental tire something, and a lamborghini distributorship owners showing off series.

I've got the equipment, and a lot of experience at that track from the spectator areas, just no blue vest, damit!

Look for the probably hung over guy, 6'2" 260# with expensive canon equipment and dressed weird. I'll buy you lunch for pro shooting tips.

Look for timberland boots, maybe shorts, beer gut, and expensive camera equipment. I'll probably have the 70-200 f2.8 L for most of the track wandering. For the pit action, i'm thinking the 24-70 f2.8 L. I'm bringing the 10-20mm sigma 2.8 version for the pits too.

See ya there

Or reply here for more info.


Feel free to use any photo's that I post for any purpose that I don't find offensive. I'd be honored to find my pics used on that world wide web thingy....

If you can't fix it with a hammer you've got an electrical problem.

I will be there too, and I was rejected for a press pass and I am bummed about it. A couple Photogs told me last year a press pass was a slam dunk for this race.

Press passes are never a slam dunk. Also remember demand is a lot higher this year with TUSCC.

I have a few favorite spots at that track from the spectator areas. I am definitely setting up a flickr site after this race. The first downhill left hander in the boot, the short back straight before entering the boot, coming out of the 180 . top of the esses, outside turn 1 just to name a few.

I can't wait, and maybe I'll run into some of you there.

Where is that first spot you like to shoot?

I like to shoot at the top of the Grandstand in Turn 1. The exit of the buss stop. The inside of the outer loop. Outside of turn 9 looking down to turn 8.

I have amazingly similar pics from the Lamborghini parade too. But I don't have internet in my camper.
