Saturday night at the races

Saturday night we went to TMS for the Indy Car races. It was a new format, two distict short (275 mile) races, with potentially 2 seperate winners. The first race position was determined by pole, the second race position was determined by a draw, in reverse order of the finishers in the first race, so it was total luck of the draw. Danica Patrick was racing, as well as most of the well known Indy racers, even Paul Tracey who hasn't raced here recently.

As usual, taking photos at the race is difficult, with the protective cage on the barrier. I did get a couple of shots though. Here is one from a pit stop that I think captures some of the action.

By the way, the high speed FPS on the 7D is scary fast. I turned it back to regular after my first burst!
