Default Grass Track Racing

mmm not sure where to put this... sport or transportation ???
Been to a Grass Track race last sunday. Was brilliant to be back watching car racing after such a long time. Took me a while to build up the nerve to go on my own to such an event. Kinda felt out of place for a while but heck... if you want the shots you have to go lol. Hope you enjoy what I come home with xx

The first and last sure capture the intensity of grass tracking ... yer brave did your camera get any dirt ?? love the series but first one is my fave well done for going usually places like that are very friendly once you get chatting to the regulars.

I agree about the 1st one, with the 3rd one coming in a very close 2nd. Strong sense of action in all of these.

Great action shot, they really captured the feel of the racing. Did your lens have peeloffs like they do in NASCAR?

These are some great shots. I want to try motorcycle racing shots, think they would be fun to do too.
Thanks for sharing, looking forward to seeing more.
