Well i went to the indy races at watkins glen this weekend. My dads cousin had free VIP passes from team penske so we couldnt turn it down. lol. we walked around the pits first then found the Penske hospitality tent where we ate and ended up missing the national anthem/fly overs cause the food was amazing and we went back for seconds. we were seated behind the pits on the front stretch, directly behind marco andretti and danica patrick's pit stalls. this was new for me, as almost every photography journey ive taken recently has been so i wasnt expecting much but i think i got a few decent ones, plus alot that i felt were interesting enough to be put here, because we only saw the cars for about 6-7 seconds, the onlydrawback of watching races in person.
