I attended all three dates open to the public: Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I took my newly acquired Pentax *ist DS digital SLR camera. Some shots are blurry because I was having some focal issues with my "gi-normous" 650-1300mm lens. I also haven't had a camera with "continuous fire" mode before. That feature was a heck of a lot of fun, but my timing wasn't right every time. Because of these two faults, you'll see pictures that are blurred, cars that aren't completely in the frame, or a combination thereof.
That said, the shots I did get are really cool. I didn't always use my 650mm lens either. I have a 70-300mm lens that's easily hand-held (the 650-1300mm I used a tripod for) and since the *ist DS sees 1.5x of what film cameras see, my 70-300mm lens acted like a 105-450mm lens. I did capture some really cool pictures with the 650mm lens though. I shoot for quantity and gain quality out of sheer numbers.
Unfortunately for the honest people out there, I have to ruin the visual pleasure of my pictures with copyright information. The first kind is my information plastered on an angle across the image. The second kind is internal to the digital file and stays with the image through cropping, cleaning, resizing, etc.
Without anymore delay, here are the pictures: http://gcrall.miller-motorsports.com/images
