so you had press credentials? All the pics I took were through the chain link fence, and I never had clear views like that.

I only went on saturday though, mostly to see the ALMS cars run. Awesome!

Yup, had press credentials. :) I kinda wished I had a farther vantage point tho, pretty hard doing panning shots up close. :(

I only went Sunday tho. :(

I think this was my best shot of the day, some air:

First time shooting this event, cars are so much more faster than what I'm used to(drifting :P )so I have a lot of pics going to the trash.
