Thanks guys! It didn't make my critique thread because as soon as I started editing I caught that I cut off the top of the gas cap, so guess I'll have to re-setup the shot after next weeks wash.

That looks to be an REO Speed Wagon tow truck. (REO is the initials of the company owner Ransom E. Olds)

Very nice Mark!
Love the photo of JPM and his kids. Shall I safely assume you were using a very long lens for the frontal car view action on the track?


And for my recent photo contribution...
Here's what happens when the sky is filled with smoke:

Thanks! Yeah, the first shot (Busch) was with the 300 with the 1.4 tc and the second (Stewart) with the 80-200. It's an interesting spot. The fence is at quite an angle so you have to lean out and the cars essentially pass underneath.The turbulence bounces you around quite a bit. It's a nice shot but I don't like spending lots of time there. Here's what it looks like with the 10.5 mm:




Nice smoke shot you've got there! Enjoying the 200-400?

That's what I thought, thanks for the ultra wide angle photo to really show what your location looked like. Can't say I'd want to shoot from there; looks pretty scary, especially if there is one of the typical NASCRUD crashes.
