I climbed up on it too but I don't think I was supposed to.

85+ degree temps without a cloud in the sky sucks when you're hoofing it around in a black 2 layer fire suit with 40 lbs of camera gear for 16 hrs a day.

I wondered about that. Whenever I go to events like that, it's brutal. I was sweating like a pig when I did the MotoGP/WSBK at Laguna Seca a while back.

I would highly doubt that. I've met Tracy a dozen times and raced karts against him another dozen or so times. Who knows though.

Those 458 GT cars are just so f'ing sick. I'm not a huge fan of the street car but the race car is incredible.

Fantastic pictures Al!
