Honda Grand Prix in St. Pete, FL

A few pics I took from the Indy Car race in St. Pete, Florida last Sunday from the grandstands and a gap in the fence near the last turn.

I only brought the 300mm f/4 and the D200. I really wish I had brought my monopod because trying to pan handheld is pretty hard!

Brand Recognition at 133MPH (clocked by a racefan with a radar gun in this turn. The Honda Accord Hybrid pace car clocked in at 80mph through this turn during the yellow flags!)
