Nice! All my track shots were behind the blinking safety fence frown

That green Ford GT40 is interesting with its wires.....is it one of the very early ones?

The driver of that GT40 was what could best be described as "somewhat tubby" and his run (jog) across the track at the start was something to see. I should be able to post a photo next week.

I always try to take my racing shots so that they have a sensation of speed by panning the camera with the car. camera All I need now is to add the big Chevy 8 litre V8 sound track. idea

I can see you have the technique off to a tee!

As a former owner of a '72 Corvette there is nothing like the grumbling roar of Vette (small or large block).

Though, my new(ish), grumbling monster does push it very close!

Great photo's thanks for sharing them with us.
