ALMS Lime Rock 2005 Photos

[Docjonel]

I just attended my first auto race ever-- the American LeMans Series at Lime Rock Park here in Connecticut-- and had a great time. Blazing sun, beautiful setting, very relaxed atmosphere. Took my very first auto racing photos using my Canon Digital Rebel with a 28-200 mm zoom lens. Some of them came out OK so I thought I'd share them here.
To give a sense of place, here's a panoramic shot of the front strait at Lime Rock:

Whoops! Hope that's not too many photos! And I hope you enjoy them.
