Speed Demon:  When photographing, or even just enjoying motor sports, I feel the closer the better. At the first San Antonio Nissan Grand Prix, I almost found out how close was too close. During the very first “hot Lap” for the big cars (GTO & GTU class cars), I began leaning through the photo hole in the fence. Due to my excitement I kept creeping further and further out while focusing on the pack of cars approaching. I knew I was out too far when I felt a gush of hot air underneath me as the cars went by. Without realizing it, I had leaned out over the track so far that the cars were traveling under me at over 165 mph.
