It's crazy how small the lola is without the nose and tail on!

Hey Zimms,

Thanks for sharing some truly great photos, you're a very good photographer and there is nothing better than race cars in flight!

BTW: Something I learned along the way: Race cars have ALWAYS been built as SMALL as possible and still have room for one of those annoying drivers fit inside. Small is light, better on brakes, less frontal area and faster. I hope you have a chance to look at some of the wonderful racecars from the '50's & 60's. They are still quite impressive.

Best,
Terry

It was a good race! I'm sorry I missed meeting everyone.

I'm almost embarrassed to post my pictures after Zimms great shots. Mark does have some mad skills behind the lens, that all us wish we had. And I'm sure that he has a lot better equipment than my Nikon CoolPix that I carry in my shirt pocket - My good equipment was stolen about 6 years ago and I never replaced it.

The 1st Caution of the day & it happened about 20 feet from me. Unfortunately my shot of impact was only of the tire wall. The Alex Job car was back in the race about 20 minutes later







A later caution happened as this LMPC car lost it coming downhill into Turn 10, while I was talking to Jake. This shot is from Jake's Compound.

That's all I've got

I don't know how I even did this one, but it might be my best shot












Next Photographer, Please

Posted by: Zimms Oct 4 2010, 07:43 AM

Thanks for the compliments guys.

TC - Sorry I missed you. I saw the Honda at the hotel, but I did not feel well most of the trip. I even went back to the hotel after the start of the race. Great call on the hotel. Very close and affordable. I like your shots going up turn 1 and the front straight. You're giving me ideas for next year.

Another move - I didn't even think of getting shots of the parade lap until I saw a red 914 and then Huey on the back stretch. Next year I'll be on the ball.

Mark, the shots going up the hill in Turn 1 anybody can get to through the support Paddock all the way at the end.

The shots on the front straight were taken from either the Starters Stand or the support Hot Pits which you need a special Pass for.
