After four hours of intense racing around Laguna Seca, the 2009 American LeMans season is in the books. I'm once again exhausted from a day of shooting and lugging my gear up and down the mountainous terrain, but I wanted to quickly post some of the day's results before I pass out here... The GT2 class winner was the #45 Flying Lizard Porsche
Just got back to to the hotel here in Monterey after spending the day at the final round of the 2009 American LeMans Series at Laguna Seca. My body is massively sore from hiking around Laguna Seca's scenic hills today, but before I collapse I wanted to post a few quick photos and highlights from the day's practice and qualifying sessions.

When you smell like of strange mix of sweat, rubber particles, and champagne you know you've spent the day at a Formula Drift Event.

After three full days at the track (followed by a much needed day of recuperation), it's time to start looking back at the action-packed weekend at the Long Beach Grand Prix. As I mentioned earlier, this was my first time shooting the LBGP and quite a memorable experience. If you've never had a chance to to go, I highly recommend planning a
Well, another weekend, and another big event to cover. As you saw from Rod's post yesterday, we are back in Long Beach again for the famous Grand Prix on the streets. There's a lot going on at the LBGP this weekend, but we are focusing the American LeMans event for the most part. After arriving on site this morning and getting accustomed to
