The reason their free for the last time is due to pressure from the other photogs that shoot at the track, which is completely justified. But I came up with a compromise...
From now on, I'll still offer pictures BUT you will need to make a small donation to the Air Fence Fund via http://actionfund.roadracingworld.com/ on your honor.
After seeing the airfence in action, and helping setup the air fence at Summit this past weekend I know how valuable the airfence is to us road racers. It WILL save your life!
Several sections of the airfence at Summit this past weekend were directly from the Roadracing World Action Fund. I've sent in donations and have finally seen it in action. My jaw dropped when I saw the Roadracing World Action Fund imprinted across the side of airfence. It's something we all should support and take note of!
Ok, for the pics...
As always, go to:
http://webpages.atlanticbb.net/~egdemattia/ccs_summit_7-7-07/index.htm
Find your picture and e-mail me the file name for the full resolution image. The ones on the site are low res and haven't been cleaned up yet.
The pictures are from the Amateur GTU, Expert GTU and Heavy Weight Twins races on Saturday.
Here is a link to the last Summit weekend with CCS. These pics will be coming down very soon to make room on the server.

Thanks, but I can't take full credit. Pavel came up with the idea, I just implemented it first. I'll have a banner and a sign up form setup at the WERA Nationals at Summit in August. I hope we can raise a fair sum for the Action Fund and get some great shots in the process. Fingers crossed!!!
Great pics, but none of my race. Who else was shooting?
Guzz is still there (http://www.steelhorsepictures.com/). He does great work. The guy with the black hat was there too. I don't know his name or his web site.
I only shot those races because I race too and had to get ready myself. That's a primary reason why I never charged for photos in the past.
Guzzler took somewhere close to 10,000 pictures over the weekend. He will be really busy for a couple of days getting them all sorted out. He is really getting good at taking action shots and for the short time he has been doing this they really look good.
The guy with the black hat is Peter Migala his site is ...

A great big "your welcome" and :cheers: another great weekend of racing and a whole lot of fun. Yes it was hot, but MARRC ALWAYS functions as a team, we look out for eachother as much as we look out for the racers. Yes, it was hot out there but I, for one, enjoyed every minute of it (okay that is a BIT of a stretch, but was having a blast for the most part ::)). From my point of view, things ran unbelieveably smoothly, there were very few incidents (only one transport I believe)! Big props to all racers and race officials :cheers:
MARRC Cornerworkers are indestructable....and we always cover one anothers backs, as well as the racers.

Any chance you can post up the Cornerworker pics?
I only had a few and they were just standing around, pointing and doing other things to get through the heat. They are in the link on the first post.

Thats pretty much how our day goes. We're either standing around watching for stuff or running around like our hair's on fire!
Hey, I checked for the Cornerworker pics and you got a pic of me racing in the Formula 40 race before I went back to work the turns! Thats really cool.
Thanks a bunch :thumb:
send me the file name with an e-mail address and I'll send you the full res one

Yellow, I think you struck up a great idea, i back you 100% and I will join in with you, be glad to share all my photos, but would like to see money given to the safety of the sport, I don't race but do ride, my brother races thunders and f40 so i go to help him. I get great shots and have never asked a cent for them. but you have a good point about donations..
Peter,
I'm glad to hear it!!! A few other photogs are going to help out too. I'm going to work with Mongo over at WERA to see what needs to be done to make it official.
By the way, I finally got that Nikon 70-200 f/2.8G with VR! Killer lens!
I have about every summit CCS race since early 2000, I have been shooting motorsports since 1975, started at Watkins Glen and hooked since. I go for the sport, friendship and support the sport, I shoot professionally (weddings, bridal, functions) so weekends I do it for me, and have shared to about everyone who emails me, but you got it right, by a picture from a salesman and support him, or donate a few bucks, get the same quality photo, and support the sport and hopefully save a life.

Thankfully we didn't have much to do that weekend as far as incidents go which is why we were standing around a lot. Thanks for shooting pics of us. You guys rock. :thumb: :cheers:
