Beauty, John. Those are great shots. I'm working corners for the Tuesday practice day at Road Atlanta for the Petit le Mans. That nets me basically an "all areas, all times" pass for the entire event. ;-> Last year I managed to get out to the wall outside T1 for the start of the race and captured this one: http://nutdriver.org/Wreck/PlM05-08-06_web.jpg It's actually one of a sequence that's described at http://nutdriver.org/Wreck/Narrative.shtml Hopefully it will be equally useful this year. :-) I finally put together about a dozen of my favorite race shots and put them on my flickr account ... I'll get a real gallery going "sometime soon" ... http://www.flickr.com/photos/nutdriverlefty/sets/72157594279961969/ -- Thanks, DougF (KG4LMZ) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
