Way too much porn for one thread

OK SO its a bit misleading






I was invited by a couple buddies to Barber Motorsports Park for a weekend of speed. I've been several times and every time it just digs that hook deeper in me. Unable to ride I took the opportunity to get some practice shooting. Hang with me, I'm going somewhere with this.

A completely different buddy last year got an invite to shoot track days by the Alabama Porsche Club and perhaps some larger events. My buddy then asked if I could help shoot the track days, HECK YES!! Then earlier this month he asked me again to make sure I was still willing. HECK YES!! Only now, he wanted to know if I would like to shoot the INDY and Grand-Am races in April for the Alabama Porsche Club. HECK YES!!

I guess I really should join the Alabama chapter...................

After going on 6 years of really bad health issues and luck, it seems as though lady Karma is smiling on me.

I didn't shoot the other two rows behind the row on the left.
They were all Cayenne's, they did have a row of VW T5 used
for driver transport.
