Nice pictures! I was glad to see the Audi beat out the Porsches...

I can't wait until the the 18th when ALMS comes to Utah. Was amazing last year and I'm expecting the same. No better way to spend a day.

olympus 40-150mm (because the lens is for the four/thirds platform it's actually an 80-300mm, 35mm platform equivalent).

Great shots. What focal length were most of these shots? I was concerned that sitting in the stands and shooting through the fence wouldn't produce good shots, but you proved me wrong.

I was planning to go this year to take photos, but it didn't work out. I'll definitely be there next year.

I bet your 70-200L f/2.8 IS is long enough Cal. If not slap a TC on it!
