The pictures here focus on the Blue sessions that Sean and I ran and on the cars that Debbie (the official O'Connell photographer) knew.
Kendt, Malia, Cline and Colin

More pics here. Again, almost all from blue group and a decidedly focus on the O'Connell race team and those fortunate enough to be in the picture. Debbie is our official photographer so she only get's paid when Sean and I are in the shot. :lol:

Let me know if you want the full res images of Sean and/or I passing you. Pics of you passing us are VERY expensive.

The fear of another user induced oil leak was holding Cline back.

FWIW... image galleries are up at F&S

I still don't like them. I think they take boring ass shots. Even ones of multiple cars. How they can make a shot of four or five cars at a time look static is beyond me. They have no feel for lighting or composition, always using the same ol' angles and locations.

I guess they're good if you've never had a picture of your car on track before... but I get very tired of the same freakin' shot of my car every single time I go to VIR. :thumbsdown:

Anyway... here's the link: http://www.photogiftsgalore.com/thscc.htm

Ditto, I don't even look at them anymore.

Noob question. Why do people tape their lights at track events. There are no cones :). Just bugs gut prevention?

Track debris. Lots of stuff can get kicked up by really sticky tires. Even a marble-sized chunk of rubber can to damage under the right circumstances (i.e. @ 100+ mph)
