Laguna Seca ALMS Shots

The ALMS 07-xx folders were at Sears Point (Infineon Raceway) in July. The ALMS 10-xx folders are from the season finale this past weekend at Laguna Seca. If you see this post pretty early on, be patient as I have over 1000 images uploading. The thumbnails may be there, but the underlying picture may not be.

You've got some cool photos. 👍 What photo equipment do you have?

If these photos are your own, then for god's sake man... get rid of the monsterous watermarks.

Glad to see the #13 Viper GTSR Competition Coupe (purple w/ flames) is still running strong!

I met the owner and team a year back, and love seeing them race.

You've got some cool photos. 👍 What photo equipment do you have?

I'm using a Pentax *istDS and, on race weekends, a variety of lenses. I have the autofocus Pentax 18-55mm lens that came with the DS, a Pentax 70-300mm and a Phoenix 650-1300mm lens.

The *istDS "sees" at 1.5x the focal length of each lens though, so the 18-55 is more like a 27-82 film equivalent. Meaning that my 650 lens acts as a 975mm lens which is why I just leave it zoomed out.

If these photos are your own, then for god's sake man... get rid of the monsterous watermarks.

I put the watermarks there to protect the images. They are mine, but I found that without the markings people were downloading and taking them as theirs. My friend's brother hosts miller-motorsports.com and he used tracking software to find that members of the "American Iron" (NASA sanctioned race) Internet forum were taking the pictures. I put marks on them so they'd stop. It also makes the images unattractive to reproduce.

Off topic.....When were you in South Bend, IN?.......I see you have been to the Studebaker Museum

My brother moved from our Dad's house in Maine out here to California a year ago September. We stopped for the first two nights in Pennsylvania to stay with family, but after that it was all along I-80 for us.

We had to stop in South Bend (stayed at the Marriot by the NCAA football HoF) and went to the Studebaker Museum because our dad's side of the family is big into Studebakers. The first car I drove was my dad's '63 Avanti with a prototype R3 engine. It's the 25th Avanti built and the first owner was the President of Studebaker. Note my forum ID.

I just had to stop in Chicago because I like the Chicago Blackhawks and we both went up into the Sears Tower; as the pictures show.
