Some really nice shots here, much better than my attempt at the beginning of the summer! Love the angled composition in 1 & 3

Beautiful! Love the second one and the last one. Laguna Seca is my home track - or at least it used to be, before I moved to Utah. I've taken tons of motorcycle photos there and I shoot the Sea Otter bike festival every spring. It's one of my favorite places to shoot an event. The second to last one is a nice long shot, too. Is that exiting turn six? Love the backgrounds at Laguna!

Funny, I looked through the pics and scrolled down to say that 2 and 8 were my favs... seems PJ and I have the same taste! All excellent work though. The ALMS cars are such art forms in themselves, it really makes for great photos. And of course Laguna Seca provides some wonderful backgrounds - I flew out there in '05 for the MotoGP race (back when they ran the 990cc beasts). Fantastic race - Nicky Hayden's first win - beautifully scenic track.
