Um, yeah, I meant so I could finally meet "the Chi" You always meet the best people at the track! Did he tell you the story of the Pepsi Can on gate parkway? Or Ed getting pulled over on his racebike?

No he didnt, just the volvo, truck and foot in facemask episode!! YIKES!

Rae what was Ebbs Old Rig???

You just gotta go out there and practice...Learn the Aperature/Shutter Speeds/ISO and Panning...Obviusly shooting a Moving Bike is gonna be tougher than Still photography.

Great pics! Looks like you had a blast. I wonder how long it will take me to get my track confidence back up after I finally break down and buy a bike.

Ebbs old camera, the rebel 350 with a 70-300mm lens. I fell in love with it at Indy and I am buying it from him. Got "Sanchez" if its who I think it is, to hook up the settings, played with alot of different features and settings this weekend, but this is the first time Ive taken the camera out to really play with it...Im pretty pleased with my medipcre results, I can only get better now!

Just keep shooting. I dunno how many motorcycle shots I've taken, but it's in the 10's of thousands, and I still learn new things all the time. Oh, and prepare to be poor because good lenses are expensive, and you WILL want one ... or two or three.

yup... sorry rae... but you've just got addicted to a hobby that's ALMOST as expensive as riding.



One thing you can look into though... is RENTING lenses for your track day... rent a 400mm L lens for the weekend... the onlything is then your limited by the XT...
