Miller Grand Am:

Today was the move in day and first day of practice for the Rolex Grand Am at Miller. I made it to the track by about 11:00 AM. Signed in for my photo credentials and got my photo vest. I then started to wander the paddock. This is my first Grand Am so all of the cars are new to me. Last Night at work I picked up the crew chief for the 88 & 89 Porsche's, so the first thing I did was to look up the team principal. Unfortunately the team already has a contract for a shooter, he did take my card just in case. In my wandering I came to the Banner Pontiac team and found out who the honcho in charge was. I approached Leighton Reese and offered my services and shock to end all shocks he accepted my services. He wants people photos primarily as he has tons to car on the track shots. I started taken photos right then and there. I'll share them soon.

Tomorrow I have to be at the track by 0730 for the photographers meeting. I guess I have to be heading for bed pretty soon as I am not used to getting up that early.

I'll keep in touch.
