Donington BTCC and others Pics 56k beware

[Monkey]

Sunday went ot Donington to watch the BTCC with full Team Halfords VIP hospitality:D my mate works for Garmin who sponsor team halfords and he managed to get a couple of tickets.

got to meet Mat Neal and Gordon sheddon, nice blokes, and was served free food and beer all day in the dry whilst watching the racing an a big screen, and when the weather did let off for a bit i ventured out side to get these photos.

coments and cretique welcome, all photos have had no post porcessing apart from resizing and some have been cropped, no photoshop witchcraft has been done, but some possibly need it.

all taken on what some will class as a point and shoot camera, but its a very comprehensive Canon S2iS, all hand held as well.

I was learning/practicing my panning on most of these

One of the very deep puddles and these 2 nutters on bikes drove though it, i LOL'd as a woman in a land rover decoded it looked to deep to drive through so went the long way round, then these to thought they would try their luck
