Let's go racin!
 
Ok, I know there's at least one other person....somewhere...who likes races.
Just got back from Bristol and used the new A100. Yes, the cars were moving. Quite fast, actually.

Bristol grows from a town of less than 40k to over 200k during race week.

These jets were almost impossible to get.

My other boy, #55, leads. For about 5 minutes.....

Wanted to see how clearly I could shoot across to the other side. I'm liking this camera.

Winner. Yes, they DO go right, Hal!!
Considering that they were going close to 100mph, the shots came out amazingly clear.

I like Formula One races best. I've been to quite a few races (my dad's a former rally driver and loves watching races now) in the last 10 years or so (Indy 500 a couple of times, Brickyard, a F1 Grand Prix or two, and some smaller races at Mid-Ohio) and it can be pretty fun. I don't follow the drivers as much as I did when I was a kid (loved Mario Andretti), I usually just pick one to root for before the race starts and hope for the best.

I prefer horse races, though. ;) Less headache and sunburn at the end of the day!

Wow, those are great pics. I really surprised you got those considering how fast they were going.

You also go to the (short) Nationwide race?

GREAT pics, FAR BETTER than the ones I took in the October Charlotte race with my 3 year old, $150 fuji camera.

I agree with you - taking into account how fast those cars are moving your shots did come out pretty clear. Very cool!

Nope. Got there Saturday evening. We just go to the Cup race each year.
