Two races this past weekend in the greater Chicago area, both held on automobile road racing courses. Next weekend off for Easter, then the slow ramp up to the biggies in June, July, and August.

First race held at Blackhawk Farms Raceway in South Beloit, IL

1. Obviously a cropped telephoto shot.

#4 is my favorite. The lean really accentuates the action. Are you kneeling or just really short?

I'm 6ft 5in. LOL! I was sitting in the grass on the exit of the turn. Was great fun being able to freely walk around the race course.

Not week 3. I drove to Joliet instead. The most (ahem!) interesting drive so far this year. Haven't seen anyone posting anything from the last Lakeview race yet, but I'm sure someone was there shooting.

It was interesting that at Beloit, two guys with Canon 1D Mk ? and 400mm f2.8 lenses showed up for the start of the Pro 1/2/3 race, shot maybe 3 laps, and then disappeared again. WTF?

Someone doing a cheap deal on Powertap units in that town... look at all those yellow head-units!

Great shots!

I think your photography has been elevated to a higher level now that you're using a 1D. Your 40D just wasn't cutting it. #'s 4,5, & 6 look spectacular. Focus, colors, flash, and exposure are spot on. I look forward to seeing your photography this season!
