Well, its been 7 race weekends in the last two months, now its off to the Glen in the morning and then off to Le Mans before returning to more. The glorious life of a motorsports photographer. :D

Anyway, here are a few from the latest weekend in Lime Rock Connecticut, an event a little smaller than that other famous Memorial Day race. Comments welcome, full gallery here. http://www.speedarena.​com …Am/2006/05%20Li​me%20Rock/ (external link)

All shots are great, but that first one is fantastic!

The first shot is awesome... makes the 5th shot (which would otherwise look great) so mundane. I like the motion in number #4... but #3 (in it's current size) looks a bit soft for my tastes. Still really great stuff!

PS - See you in Le Mans!

Thanks guys.

Todd, number 3 is actually tack sharp through the NEC and number in full size, it does look a little soft in the small form, but, you know me, I never post anything unless its absolutely tack sharp and could easily do a full sized poster.

I figured it was the size... I hate how a REALLY impressive photo can get somewhat mundane at the smaller resolutions.
