John, you still make me realize how far I have to go as a motorsports photographer, these are truly beautiful images.

Thanks for the inspiration once again.

#6 is great! Nice shots.

Great work as usual. I was there and took several hundred shots. Hope to be able to shoot like you one day.

Amazing shots.

Visible action in #5 Audi crash shot is excellent.
for my favorite team tho....

1 3 and 6 are sweeetttt

Simply amazing. Great work!

Wow, love them all. Your pictures are so great and inspirational.
Thanks for sharing, I hope some day I'd take shots as good as yours.

I love love love #1. sheesh.

Thanks for reminding us how to do it right =)

Thanks guys. It was an interesting week, to say the least. One more to go at Laguna Seca and then it will be back to shooting down at the beach.

I cannot decide which one of the Audi off-track shots I like better the one you posted here with the huge plumes of dirt or the closer car sequence just coming back on track from your site. Just awesome shots John. I really like how you framed the track as well. I'll assume that was the Lucas Luhr practice agricultural excursion talked about on the telecast? How you caught that moment with the 5DII amazes me, you must be fleet of finger.

Also how did you get that metallic, high contrast look to some of the sequence shots under the bridge? Very cool.

So bummed about this year's rain shortened event.

I really like #1,3,5,6.

Good job bro.
