I did not want to burn up Waynes bandwith, it is 200+ pics, like 115 meg total

You may have to turn off pop-up blocker for this to launch.

I can not say enough about it, more fun than I had imagined.

We probably passed each other a dozen times.

More pics in this Pelican thread.
And if you read this CSCC thread you will see more pics and links to 3 more galleries.
Nowhere near the volume that you have, though.

My thanks to the Red Bull / Brumos Porsche race team for free all-access passes, free food, free drinks of all types, a good party overnight, and cute chicks.... The whole weekend cost me $56 - the cost of my gasoline.


Any closer, and the hand you an impact gun....




Edit: added photo

It was my brothers camera, a canon digital SLR. But as you will notice some of the action shots are CLOSE. That is curtesy of a pro. This camera guy comes over to the fence and says here gimme your camera, he obviously doesn't need a cheaper version of what he had, so what the hell. He attached my bro's camera to his lens (big a$$ lens at that) and snapped a bunch pics for him; and since it was so cool, I will give him a free plug: www.962image.com.

I've got a ton of pics also that I need to get posted somewhere - the event was incredible. I only last till about 4am then had to catch a few hours of sleep but was back at the track around 8am.

After watching those cars for that long you become intimately familiar with each one, the damage, the sounds etc. We have turned it into a yearly must do on our calendars, really jump starts the racing season.

The access to all areas was incredible - the crews were great, the weather was perfect, the beers were cold and of course the chicks were hot. If you have never done it get it on your calendar for next year, you will not be dissapointed.

Does anyone have some pics of the rotors glowing at night?? A couple of those cars looked like they were going to melt.

It really was an incredible weekend. This was my first time to the Rolex in about a dozen years, they've done a great job with the infield too.

I'll post some pics soon, including the couple of laps I got around the track on Friday.
