Texas World Speedway DE

I took my Honda S2000 out to Texas World Speedway last weekend for a high performance driving event and brought along my camera. I was there primarily to drive and so I didn't take many photos, nor did I try to get a good location to take photos at. But I got about 50 I wanted to share.

My car, ready for first session. Look how foggy it was that morning


The Lotus Elise is slowly growing on me


Some of these guys do serious mods to their cars


Not everyone drove a street legal car


Porsche Cayman


Lots of S2000's showed up




Instructor talking to student on front stretch


BMW Z4


I don't know how he did this but he was NOT happy when some clueless specatator parked their car directly behind his trailer.

Beautiful panning work - man I love that Porsche! Nice background info too; I hate that color on the Elise but the design sure is sweet.

I second the great panning! Id like to see how a tighter crop would look.

Sounds like fun. Glad you had a good time. And no, I wouldn't mind having an Elise in the garage, either. Pretty sure that Porsche is a 911, though.

Some nice shots, man that would have been a fun day!

BTW, it is a Porsche 911 Turbo (996 series).

Thanks! Was shot with a 1D Mark II, a 70-200/2.8 and a 1.4TC. I was as close as I was allowed to get but I could really have used more lens! And you guys are right, that is a 911. There was a Cayman there but I got shots of 911 instead.
