Nice work, I never shot this kind of race. Looks interesting with lots of image chances.

It's pretty interesting. The only hard part is that it requires a lot of walking. The course was four miles around and in order to get different pictures I had to get to as much of the course as possible.

I think at my age that's a lot of walking. I would prefer to grab an interesting outlook and shoot some. 75 yrs. old I am lucky to walk from my car to the ball field with my equipment lol.
