A Ton of Pics From the Pits at Road America!

While I was watching the team from B-K Motorsports get the car dialed in, I also managed to sneak off and get some shots of the other crews in action. To my surprise, I didn’t get yelled at once, and after seeing me try—in vain—to get a shot a GT2 Ferrari before it peeled out of the pit, one of the Italian Stallion’s mechanics even smiled and asked if I wanted him to call it back. It was the longest exchange I had while shooting, because only about ten seconds out of every minute are quiet enough that you can converse without shouting directly into the ear of the person you’re talking with. The rest of the time, wailing engines reign. As you’d expect, all the cars are wicked loud, but the racket of the GT2 cars really surprised me. The speed limit on pit road is a paltry 60KMPH, and when the GT2s come in, their engines are bouncing off their rev limiters, and produce some of the angriest, most vicious noise I’ve ever heard. In a word, it’s awesome. Along with some dope shots of the Ferraris and Aston Martins, I got pics the Porsche and Audi prototypes, a Panoz, an insane Ford GT and an evil looking Viper. Check them out after the jump.
