Front straight - last blast...

I came back down to the trailer from T7 at 4.30PM expecting the day to be over.

Surprise!

Somebody had sent the A group out for a "last blast". I took a few shots from under the tree next to the start/finish tower.

You were all over the "ton" as Reg would say - some of you were doing 150+ and still accelerating down the rest of the straight.

I guess you were about 6-8ft away from me as you sped by - and my $4,000 300mm lens was having trouble focusing consistently after I had dropped it earlier in the day (duh!)

Here's what I got in a couple of minutes trackside - if I missed you - sorry...
