Here are a few shots from Homwstead Miami Speedway. I haven't been able to look at any of these on the big screen, but they looked pretty good on my laptop.

I'm up to about 800 photos, ut: so I haven't been through them all, but here are a few highlights that I found at a glance.

Lookin good, other the color of the #20 car, but thats a pigment issue and it has to be fixed through PP

Nice work... and thanks for the Tony Stewart shot (it's my new wall paper now lol)

I am dancing in my seat now for the next 2.5 months till Daytona. We managed to get Tower seats for the 500......now I am working on garage access. Apparently the fan zone is offering limited garage access somehow.... but I want to get right in there. It may not happen but I will work my tail off to get as close as I can this year.

Tufcat were you down there Friday? Any of the trucks coming through the scale area of tech?

Jaedon: Tower seats for the 500 are a pretty big (and pricey) deal, no wonder you are excited. I may try to go to Daytona myself, In February. I've lived in Florida all of my life, but I've never been to a race at Daytona (go figure). Hope you get your garage access too.

Jimmy: I was there Friday. Here you go.

Out of the shot in that one.I would be the guy doing the right rear 1/4 panel heights.
Tufcat did you have a buddy with you that had a nikon?

No, I was on my own (kinda) my wife was tagging along with her point and shoot.

I don't have any other truck tech photos either. I had no idea that a fellow "Photography Review" member was working there, or I would have made a point to catch you in action.

lol well thats why you don't make IRP.... they don't have 1/4 panels at the end of the race so who cares how high they are

nice shots!
im always on the other side of the fence so most of my shots dont compare well
to these.ive got some from dega ,bristol ,and kansas as well as gateways truck race.
its just that that darn catch fence is always part of the scene.

There are ways around that fence....it depends on your gear and experience, if they think your good enough they will give you credentials to shoot. Normally you would get stuck in a corner but if a spot opens on pit road you might get lucky enough to get their. Also you can buy credentials, although they do have slightly restrictive access over the media types. Where we (media) could go in the box non-media were not allowed so it's a battle for space.

I am on the left of photo it was taken on Thursday.
Tcat it would have been nice to meet you. You have some darn nice shots of what I have seen. On one hand it sucks not being able to shoot when I am there but they dont have me there to take pictures I am hopefully on the list to work trucks again next year and I am not going to let my camera keep me from doing it.:mad2:
When you get a chance to go through what you have I had the #21 on pit road during the race.
