Summit Point Raceway Safari

We had our first racecar photo safari yesterday to Summit Point Raceway near Charles Town, WV.  My friend Mike Harrigan got us permission to do a safari there and arranged to get us SCCA membership passes for the weekend.  We also had media passes so we could shoot anywhere.  The attached photo is one of the open wheel racers using an umbrella to keep cool while waiting for his race to start.  Over 90 degrees in the shade with a slight breeze, but the drivers were in fireproof suits and sweating like dogs by time the race was over.  They had practice runs during the morning and then races in the afternoon.  See link for more photos.  We had a great time and also got some nice action shots.
