Marc, once again thanks for the pics!!
It was a pleasure to finally meet you after all this time. Take care, see you at the next race. Maybe we'll actually see something.

Thanks guys..
Baja, it was indeed a pleasure meting you, your wife and friends.
I just spoke with Olympus about the shutter freeze/hang-up prolem I had with my old camera C-2100..I have to send it back to the factory for repair. The call was worth it...===>
He confirmed what other Olympus reps refused to answer ... NO-The newer Olympus cameras , like the NEW C-750 I have been using , DO NOT HAVE image stabilization.
My C 2100 was the last model that had it before Canon hit them with a patent infringement.
Olympus does not plan to have the image stabilization in the near future.
Soooo.. I'm gonna get the C-2100 repaired and go look at Nikons and Canons. I'll probley sell the C-750...
Take care
Hope to see you in Sarasota...

In my opinion, as a fan, any race that has a course 1/2 from the land based spectators does a dis-service to the drivers/crew and fans. Surprisingly, the assisstant race director told us that "There were very few spectators there Saturday, but then there was only time trials."

My photos are with a 600mm lens (not the most costly) and I still had to use my photo computer program to bring them closer in.

Although there was an incident last year at St pete, that course was not only challenging for the drivers/crew but outstanding from a spectator viewpoint.
