Default My Contribution from the Grand Prix

Here's my pics from Sunday. Since I didn't fork over the extra $10 for the Pit Pass all of them are from the Grand Stand or from outside the fence at various corners. The video's from the corners look pretty clear but the ones from the Grand Stands suck.

Missing Saturday

Getting a "reserved" parking spot at DC Armory since Evan entered in the car show

Guy who yelled at me for standing up to take some pictures at the start of the race

Getting into the Grand Stand with my General Admission ticket

Not knowing my company was doing something inside the hospitality area and realizing I could have gotten in for free

Running into MaxQ and seeing quite a few other people from H-T/NASA/Auto-X

It was a great day and I can't wait for next year!!!

I notice a theme in your pictures that doesn't totally involve cars...

Bastard. You could have at least brought us food...

Nice pics, just one question. Why were you watching the front straight when you could have gone down and watched turn 1 - where you would have found most of the NASA racers!

I try not to limit myself to particular topic, I like to involve all thingies of interest

I kept moving around the track during the ALMS race, during WCT I just stayed in the grandstand since you could see the turn leading to the front straight, the front straight, and some of the far side of the track as well. What you couldn't see was usually on the jumbotrons as well. Besides, I was tired and had been seen a lot of the NASA racers at turn 1 earlier in the day.
