First time shooting motor sports so I thought I'd try out the little fellers. From Ellicott, Co.

I found that in a lot of photos they had their eyes on the big guy with the camera instead of the track.

I saw that these guys were getting a little feisty with each other going for the lead.

I figured no good was going to come of it so I followed them with the camera around the next corner and sure enough... (dang pole)

They weren't through. A few laps later they were at it again.

After a bit of a scolding, the #2 dropped back but the #5 came on to make it a close (photo) finish with the #1 none the worse for wear.

I had a lot of fun. Those little guys (and girls) get into some pretty intense racing.

Comments welcome.
