Springspeed 2008

A few photos from the racing at Springspeed. 

I had ordered a 300mm f2.8 but it never arrived in time so I was left using the 20mm and the 70-200. I like the angle that the 200mm gives you, cuts a bit of the crap out which is never a bad thing. 

Unfortuntly between the rain and Kev Slyfield getting it crossed up and taking the tree out before endding up in the barrier racing was shorted to only 3/4 of a day out of the possible three. I hope this isn’t a taste of things to come.

anyway down to the pics
