White Sands Playday Pics

Sunday, January 31 was a GREAT day for me!  Why you ask?  Because I got to spend the afternoon at a RACE TRACK!  And to make it even better, there were race cars on the track!  As a motor-sports photographer, it doesn't get much better than that!!

Granted, it was just a playday, but I enjoy being around racers, race tracks and race cars and it doesn't make a lot of difference to me whether they are racing or playing.

My primary reason for going over to White Sands Speedway on this particular day was to check out the possibility of video taping the upcoming non-winged sprint car race scheduled for Feb 13 & 14.  I have already received permission to record the race, but needed to make sure some power would be available to the camera position and hopefully be able to tap into their PA system for some good clear audio of the announcer.  The good news is that I think it's going to work out real well.  Unexpected problems are part of the game, but I'm looking forward to taping my first event at the Tularosa track.

Photos taken at the track are online here.
