It appears that I'm going to Bristol TN this weekend for both races. Anywhere to rent lens around that area? I'm in WNC and the closet big city is Asheville and no where around here to rent them.

    Atlanta, not exactly close, but you can rent what you want, or call Calumet and rent from them, they will ship to you and you ship it back when you are done. I have friends that have done it and it works well. ne_nau.gif

    What kind of tickets? naughty.gif

    I went to the truck race at Bristol last year it was a trip. I cannot imagine how busy it gets for a cup race.

    They are for the the cup races if your interested. Seats are in between the 2nd and 3rd turn, and were pretty high so we can see the entire track.

    These tickets are for both the Saturday and Sunday race.

    I'm looking at either a 100-400, 300 f/2.8 or something along those lines.

    Maybe a 70-200 f/2.8 with a 1.4

    Whether you find someone or not, you should go. Sounds like fun.

    I heard we may get a GP style race in San Jose this year. I would go
    to that in a heart beat.

    It looks like something else has come up that may delay me going this weekend, which kinda sucks cause I like nascar. But we shall see
