I was hoping he would take his helmet off wile on the wall.... but i still think you can feel how he feels. He got in the car right after the start and drove around 5hrs in 90deg heat!

Nice photos. I saw them take the Krohn car past our campsite during qualifying. I guess that car where your carbon fiber shot came from? It was wrecked pretty bad.

You should probably start a new thread. I don't care if you post your shots in mine but the rules have a limit on the # of photos and this one is way past that ;)

Darkvibe,

Great stuff. Were you in the crowd areas or were you over the fence in the press photo areas?

Thanks,
Kurt O.

I was in the spectator areas only. Watkins Glen has a lot of photo opportunities without having a press pass. Grand-Am also keeps their paddock area open to the public. It's very fan friendly.

Nice shots guys! Next time we should all get together and get really really drunk and see who drops their camera first!

Ok, that doesn't sound like much fun really but next time were all there we'll have to get together.
