freaking
Out of all the cars, you could tell when the C6R's were approaching.
It was badass. I'm going back tomorrow for F1.

yea the C6R sounded nice but out of our group the Panoz GT2 Esperante and Mazda Courage LMP2 were the easiest to recognize. my friends dad was working one of the corners and said they had measured the Mazda at 119 decibels. we also got a kick out of the number on one of the Aston Martins, 007. Might be going back tomorrow for the Champ cars if i don't bake to death at the UH vs Rice game

Haha, nice. I never noticed the 007. The cars parked by the entrance also made me
The Panoz sounded like the Vettes to me. There were also many hot chicks out there dressed up like they were at a club. They're probably looking for the dudes diving the Ferarris.

The race was awsome! I sat in the grandstand right across from the corvette pit. Lots of action there! Once you figure out the lights on the cars you know whos running what. The C6-R's we kicking *** all night 1st and 2nd. Thats after they had to add weight. To make the field more even.

thanks for the kind words guys!
they were taken with a Canon D30 with a 70-300mm F/4-5.6 lens @ 300mm (480mm with the 1.6 crop ratio) I was shooting at 1/125th @ F/5.6 ISO800 and STILL underexposing. At the speed they were going I couldn't afford to shoot any slower, but thanks for the critique.
