    Daytona

    This is a picture looking up the backstretch at Daytona. I was really amazed at how narrow this track is. During the 500, cars are running close to 200 mph as they cross this point on the track.

    When you see the boyz of NASCAR running three wide at Daytona, know that there isn't much room for error.

    And think, sometimes they are 4 and 5 wide now you know why there is so much action there.

    You know, I just looked at this again and the first thing that popped into my head was the crash where the hood went into those stands, what a strange way to remember that...

    I like that word, "Trackscape"

    When I see that photo it makes me want to go rent "Days of Thunder"

    Awesome view of Daytona. Not one we get everyday. Nice job, thanks for sharing this experience.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

    I love this photo! It really gives a great perspective.
    It's not blurry. It's bokeh.
