Diny - I love your pictures, especially the ones with chopper. Great timing on that one! You have to teach me how to take pictures like that.

David/Cristian - Great pix. I'm going to upload mine now...
Oh, and I should also mention that I hit a seagull as well, on the way there this morning. I totally forgot. It was chowing down on roadkill and figured it had time to get out of my way. It was wrong. I hit the entire bird with my windshield. Fortunately, it lived and flew away, or so poleposition says. He clipped another bird with his car. Hahahahaha!

I'm calling PETA on you for that, C!
And david, you just need a wide-angle lens. I have a Canon 10-22mm. And just shoot RAW instead of JPG. I think your camera might be able to give you that option (I saw that you had a Nikon but dont know which model). RAW gives you a lot more control over the picture and you can do a lot more adjusting without losing quality. As for processing the images (to turn them into JPG), Adobe CS3 will just open them. CS2 will but will give you problems with some newer cameras. Or just use the software that came with your camera if you don't have any of that.
The chopper shot was pure luck! I got 3 in total. And by the time I came around the group, everyone was driving off, so I couldnt get any shots

Thanks Cristian for the shutterbug tips. 
I actually have a Canon XT with a 17-85 which is ok for my current skill level (which is beginner). I'll try shooting in RAW in the future and use Photoshop to edit. As for a wide-angle lens, I need to stop modding and save up for it.

looks great guys.. so im assuming you didnt do a drive at all then? sorry i missed it.. ive been at floyd bennet a few times and they really stay on top of you... they probably got so nervous when they saw all you guys coming in.. love it!
ooo and my race got cancelled due to the track being wet still at 9a.m. i was so pissed.. i went through the class.. learned about the car, the track, drove on the track, the flags, cones, what everything meant.. sized for my firesuit.. and then BINGO.. they tell us that due to safety reasons they have to rain check us... so sad.. didnt even want to watch! so left, came home, wished i met up with you all....
by the way how long did everyone stay? anyways, great pics!!!
