Jimmy hooked me up with a pit pass for the SLC Nascar event. I took a ton of photos and really enjoyed checking it out. It's been a while since I've been to the track for a motorsports event and I honestly wasn't that psyched about going. But once I got a whiff of race gas my blood started pumping. The fact is, I don't really care what you're racing - if it's got a motor, I'm psyched. I'm not a big fan of oval racing, though. I like racers that know how to turn right as well as left. So I was pleased to discover that the guys were actually racing a road course at Miller Motorsports Park. Next year I'm going to make more of an effort and see about getting a real photo pass!
Thanks a lot, Jimmy! I know it took a couple of years to get me out there. But I'm happy I finally made it. Looking forward to dinner and night shooting later!
All three of these photos were taken with the Nikon D5000 and 10-24mm DX Nikkor. I also have a bunch of Olympus E-P1 photos that I still need to download.
