    Asa Late Models

    The ASA Late Models were at USA International Speedway in Lakeland, FL, on Saturday. Here are a few photos I captured.

    Nice shots! The late models will all ways have a place in my heart! 500+ hp @ 2900 pounds fun race cars. I am sure they put on a good show.

    Nice job. I wish I had the opportunity to shot some auto racing, it's been way to long.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

    Thanx for the replies...

    Jimmy, they do put on a good show. The cars are similar to the Busch Series cars, but operate on a little lower budget. The track is a 3/4 mile oval, with easy (in and out) track access. Affordable too.

    Lori, they do look tough. These are pretty serious race cars too. There are 3 (touring) late model (asphalt) classes that make stops in Lakeland (less than an hour from home). We are pretty lucky to have access to this level of racing at such a convenient location. There is also some (dirt) late model action down here (almost every Saturday) as well. I love late models.

    OT, I spent several hours in the hot sun, taking several hundred photos, to get 30 or 40 decent shots. I post a few here and there to share, print a couple for my portfolio and won't make a dime for my efforts. But I sure did have fun. I hope to do it again next month when the Florida Super Late Model Series comes to Lakeland. I hope you get a chance to get to the races soon.
