Nice shots. I was at that race for all 3 days but my 30D got stolen from the hotel room . So now looks like I gotta get a new 40D.

That sucks, I never leave anything in the room. It's a pain to haul it all around, but worth it.

The shot of the NAPA car is insanely sharp. Very nice images!

That's a good portrait shot of Ashley. I've found it difficult to get good portrait shots of the drivers in the pits because there's always either someone in the way, or the light is right in their face, or this, or that.

Thanks, it's ok, the shoulder out of focus shoulder bugs the heck out of me. I actually like this one a lot, even though she is not looking up,
