Race - photo journal

Same as last year, I decided I wanted to see the race more than photograph it. I really wanted to be at turn 2 for the 1st lap, however, so I went over early and found a great spot under a fence that allowed me a good view of the Andretti Hairpin. On the way in there I fell down the side of the banking and banged up my arm and my equipment pretty bad, the equipment survived, and the bleeding arm scared off potential folks who may have blocked my view :D

Because of the vantage point I ended up staying in this place for the entire race and got to witness Rossi's most unfortunate moment after looking like a podium finish.
The photos here are technically not the greatest, but consititute a good journal of sorts, I suppose.
