I've gotten a few from a track photographer, but most my still come from spouses of friends.

Most folks at road courses are pretty cool people. Give them your camera and they get a few shots of your car for you. It's s different crowd for the most part that what I see at drag strips and even autocross events. At AX events, if you aren't a seasoned regular, you are pretty much excluded. Not the case at road course events. I don't know why, just an observation.

Most of mine come from friends that are on station on corners or hanging out in the paddock. I regularly work the track and know most the people so it's pretty easy to get pics that way.

Track photographer. Bought a CD with about 21 pics on it. Some pretty good shots, considering the weather.

The one I posted earlier came from the track photographer and I bought a disk with multiple images, can't remeber how many. I think the disk was around $40 but he got some good shots that day.

This one is from the same event and is well done.

Nah, just playing with saturation and white balance when I took that pic.

It's actually an awesome pearl blue, and is for sale btw...

Drove from Washington to Monterey CA for this one. 2 track days and back home. Had a blast, lots of very cool cars down there. Car worked out really well, Straight line acceleration is near even w/ c6 z06's.
