Some BTCC boys on the way into Druids. Locking up seemed to be the in thing.

At least they had brakes, unlike Matt Neal. Lucky to escape a big shunt.

nice pics mate, are you going up there for the dtm,if so i might see you there.

[DaveG]

Yeah should be, doubt you'll see me though, there will be about 100 million others with cameras and long lenses! LOL

[Jungle_Jim]

geat pics mate, what camera / lens were you using, will i get a away with an 135mm lens (slightly more being digital)

loving the lock up pics they are amazing smileys/smiley20.gif

[DaveG]

Jungle_Jim - depends where you are on the circuit. I used my 70-200f2.8 for the side on jobs, 70mm is the shortest you'll get away with at that point. If you're in the public enclosures 300 is absolute min for head ons or 3/4 pans. 400 is about ideal. The other side of the fence and the world is your oyster, providing you have a 70-200 and shorter! Some guys use much longer - up to 600 to great effect, even that side of the fence.

Simple side on pan, note the pink border smileys/happy.gif

good pics mate - i was there on the sunday, some very good racing.

there was a bit of locking up going on wasn't there!! shame to see Maxi Jazz go out so early, he was pretty damn quick as well & not scared of having a go at overtaking.

[DaveG]

chopped!
