Canon 50d with a 400mm 2.8 super telescopic, it was my first time with a lens like that so there was a learning curve with it. That and it weighing a ton.

i also used the standard lens that came with the camera

For both the vintage races, the 2 factory corvettes paced the field and raced the first lap for the vintage and they stayed out 2 laps for the historic and contemporary race

I didn't know this was going to happen otherwise i would've gone to a better location for a picture

This would have been great if I would have been a little closer to the C6r (I'm in the yellow 67 #77). I really hope that someone has a good picture of me behind them. If you have any of the yellow 1967 Corvette #76 and Yellow and the Black 1969 Corvette #76 I would love to see them!

The entire event was excellent with a lot of track time and great cars!!!

Hey Damian, nice meeting you at the track! Sorry about the "Dad" comment I was just surprised to see someone a little younger, like myself, with a vintage car. It was nice to see and your car turned out very nice!!
