I was browsing some of my Speedweeks shots key-wording and such when I ran across this picture of rain coming down at Volusia.  It made me think about some of the rain-outs or rain delays we had this year.  The one that sticks out the most has to be the Knoxville Nationals.  Rained for days.  My first time there and I thought it rained everyday in Iowa.  Beautiful racetrack and it turned out to be a great show.   Oh yeah, this was the first time I witnessed jet dryers on a dirt track. :)

Need I say more. This is the most violent crash I’ve witnessed in 2009.

Here’s a shot of Jimmy Mars coming out of turn four. Cars zoom by pretty close, and it made for some heart pounding shots.
