Rev ‘Em Up and Shoot ‘Em
I looked at my camera this afternoon and realized it was talking to me.
“Take me to the track”
What?!
“Take me to the track! I want to take pictures again. I want to get dusty. I want to get into the paddock and see insanely fast cars”
What?!
“Oh man … c’mon. Let’s hit some races at Sears Point and Laguna Seca. It’s been frikken years man! I’m a camera, and you’ve got this zoom blur thing going. Let’s go man!”
(… looking at beer bottle suspiciously)
Ok, cool. That’s what we’ll do. It has been a while, I miss it, and I will be in California for most of the summer. Yeah. Yeah! Let’s get some groovy shots!
“What’s on, then? Where are we going?”
Well, let’s see …
- (Laguna Seca) - Red Bull U.S. Grand Prix (MotoGP / AMA) - July 8-10
- (Sears Point) - Grand Prix of Sonoma (ALMS) - July 15-17
- (Laguna Seca) - Monterey Historic Automobile Races - August 19-21
- (Sears Point) - Indy Grand Prix (IRL) - Aug 26-28
- (Laguna Seca) - Montery Sports Car Championships (ALMS) - Oct 14-16
“Oh boy! 5 races?! Gimme plenty of batteries and CF cards! And can we bring Susan’s Nikon D1x too?”
Hold your f-stops man. We’ll see. At least a couple of races, ok?
“snap snap!”
