I wish I had credentials to get right up there against the track with these guys, but unfortunately I didn't so this was one of the better shots I got from the grandstands. I liked the look of the heat coming off it.

70-200 f/4

I think it is an excellent grand stand shot. Love the distortion trail.

I thought I was going to see a Rupal or Devine pic but remembered that this is a Motorsport discussion.

Very nicely done... being on the wall is nice, but there are some things you just can't get when you are that close to the starting-line (for example, shots of the chassis bending like yours).

I'm sure you got a couple shots of my butt - lol - I always have fun going through galleries looking for myself.

Next time, use a VERY fast shutter speed, and focus on the motor. The tires actually expand REAL tall, and you'll be able to see each cylinder fire with a flame coming out of each pipe.

Thats an awesome shot from the grandstands!! Besides it gives everyone the true view from a spectators point.
