Rolex 24 at Daytona Pics

[GetBlown2k3]

I went over to Daytona on Saturday and stayed until late Sat. night, then caught the rest of the race on TV today. For anyone that hasn't been, and if you are within driving distance of the track, it's an absolute blast.

I recently picked up a Canon T2i with a 55-250mm lens. This is my first step up to a decent camera; coming from a point and shoot I am a complete noob at photography, so if you have some photography experience, feel free to give me some pointers:

Awesome pics! Watched the race the whole way through on T.V. Really cool to see a smaller team take the win in the Prototype and GT class.

Sweet pictures I bet that was awesome!

Fantastic pics! I watched almost every minute of this that was shown on Speed and it was a great race. Can't wait till these guys come to Barber.

Did you happen to snap a pic of the yellow Viper CC? I caught a glimpse of it on TV near the beginning. I'd like to see more of that car. The pics you posted look great!

EDIT: Nevermind, I'm an idiot and didn't follow the link before I said anything.
