No. Every male and female racing driver could equally kick the crap out of me. If they did it with me blindfolded, I wouldn’t know the difference.

I’m aware. It just would be nice if they did it. 

While I share the same concerns about this series as you, I really want this to be something amazing. I would love it if some of the big guns from F1 and IndyCar we’re committed to sponsoring the top finishers to at least get them rides in IndyLights or F2, which is where they should probably be at this point in their…

Track went hot in St. Pete today!

GO DO IT! Daytime launches are hard to photograph from a distance. Many ND (or a single really dark one) filters are needed with a high f-stop. It can be done, but it gets tricky. The Milky Way is something I’m still chasing. I’ve never been happy with the pictures I’ve taken of it. Milky Way season is just getting…

Yo.

I took both of these from St. Petersburg, from the same area overlooking Tampa Bay. We are a big gray dot. These were taken in an area that is red on the site. The first is the comet that came by in December and the second is some star trails and meteors in the hours before dawn.

If you don’t mind sharing, where do you live?

Is there a secondary pit about halfway around for the drivers to pull over a vomit from motion sickness? But seriously, this would be incredible to drive on. 

You’d be surprised at far you might not have to drive. The trick isn’t always finding the darkest spot to shoot from (though it helps). If you can find a pretty dark place and shoot towards an area with little light pollution, you’ll be good. Like if there is a giant nature preserve two hours to the north and not a…

Thank you. I think this was my fourth attempt at this location to get star trails and a rocket launch together. I don’t remember why the first one didn’t work out. That rocket went up, but something happened with the star trails bit. Another time there was a massive storm that rolled through before the launch, so no…

Many thanks! 

Thanks!

Thank you, kind sir.

Thank you.

For what it’s worth, this is the Crew Dragon launching on Saturday morning with 117-minutes of star trails leading up to the launch and a storm over the Atlantic Ocean throwing out lightning bolts. It was pretty friggin’ impressive.

Those are difficult to look at. 

There is an F40 in Ft. Lauderdale that is someone’s daily driver. When I’ve seen it, it’ll have a fold-out silver sunscreen in the front window. There are fast food bags littering the passenger side floor, along with other random stuff one might find in a DD. It makes me happy to know that it gets driven like a normal…

But you can’t just add the halo to a chassis that isn’t designed to have it. Sure, they could redesign it to have the halo and if you want to buy them for the teams that don’t have the budget to buy several for themselves, I’m sure they’ll appreciate it. 

Last year at St Pete, I sat out most of the actual race. I spent most of it hanging out in the Calloway Corvette garage and transporter. I didn’t get to my preferred viewing spot in time and it was way to crowded to deal with.
