Just some pictures, nothing world-changing here...

Eleven
Another in my infrequent series of "It doesn't have to be perfect to be worthy". I was no more than 10 feet from this as it flashed past. It was going quite fast, I think you can tell.
OK, this will bore all not photo-fans here, but the details on this: 1/200s f/14 @ 70mm ISO800 Av mode I could have used a much faster shutter - and indeed did later. Panning was *not* an option from where I was standing, and that close to the track, as they pass at about 200MPH. I didn't have sufficient clear view down the track to get them head on, so it was a case of click the shutter and hope you got the timing right - allowing for the minimal shutter lag. I'll post a couple of other examples to prove it wasn't a completely wasted visit...

1600 ASA B/W might just get it, but it's easier to practice panning...mind your lens though...
