Great pictures

for the past couple years i had heard about petit le mans from friends and how awesome it was but had never gotten the opportunity to go. this year, nissan is fielding an LMGT prototype car (driven by the winner of the PS3 Gran Turismo 5 challenge winner currently on Speed channel) as well as Brass Monkey's nismo 370z. because of this, nissan offered a hospitality suite to support their racing efforts. members of NAGTROC, the370z.com, and most of the Z1 Motorsports shop crew attended and we all had a great time. pit tours, food, drinks and other exclusives were included. i was very happy with my results from this event and that's making it hard to pick favorites so be sure to check out the entire album of pictures!!

Great pictures, Chris, Patrick, and Skeeter. Looks like it was a really great time!

kevr6 10-02-2011 12:17 PM

Great pics guys! Made me feel like I was there. Wait....?

Skeeterbop 10-02-2011 02:09 PM

What kind of lens and shutter speeds were you guys using out there?

HKYStormFront 10-02-2011 02:25 PM

i was typically at 1/60th or slower, got a few 1/40th's in there too! it depends on where you are and how fast the cars are moving. all my shots of the cars on track were with my 70-200 L, usually >100mm zoom
