There'll be a fence, but it depends on how big the holes in the fence are. Tire marbles won't even notice a chain link fence as they go through the holes. :-) I've never been to a race at Richmond, but I've been boinged by marbles at Charlotte and Atlanta. My rule of thumb is to stay above row 20 if my seat is in a corner. Since you're on the straight, you shouldn't have a problem. > I know we'll have some chance to walk around ahead of time so I may > capture the event and not just the cars. And, as you say, I may get > lucky ;-) Since you're on the straight, give it a try from your seat. The cars will be going by pretty fast, and, with panning and a slow shutter speed, the fence might only appear as a loss of contrast. TTYL, DougF KG4LMZ
