Waterford Hills part 2

Somehow during lunch I took a wrong turn and ended up on the track following the pace car.
They were supposed to be slow "parade" laps but after the first everyone was sliding around every corner and running flat out on the back straight.


I know, 80 mph on the back straight, driving with one hand and taking a self photo with the other hand was not real smart, but wow was it fun.
Working on my panning skills, it's hard to move exactly as fast as the car so it's in focus while everything else is blurry.

This guy was risking it all with a casual stroll across the track during a race. The corner workers didn't have a "turkey on the track" flag so they threw the yellow flag instead, and he took off before the cars got to this corner.

 
They were also having a car show the day I was there, lots of nice cars.







After lunch it was back to racing.

Notice this Neon going through the corner, his left rear tired is unweighted enough that it's off the track and stopped.

The joys of victory!

The agony of defeat, or at least a blown motor.





Waterford is family friendly, bring the kids and the dog.






Taking corner one a little wide, ok, maybe really wide.


Not sure why his lights are on, it was the middle of the day, probably not as aerodynamic either.
