OTF at Mosport, there's only a few spots that 200 is long enough to get great shots. I'd want 300 minimum and 400 preferably. Especially if you're renting, go long. Real long.

Been doing pretty well. Despite low turn-outs at Shannonville, I've had a recent resurgence in picture purchases. Now if only I could sell more books.

A zoom with a long end of 400mm effective would be ideal.

There is a deck on the left end (eastern end) of the main restaurant building on the second paddock level down from the main pit building.

There is a big sign that says "Restaurant" etc. ...

There are steps up to the deck and the shop with all the race stuff for fans .... we could meet right there. A bunch of guys with cameras standing around shouldn't be too hard to miss !!! :) And hongr will have his pen ready for autographs !!!

You'll find a track map, at this link: http://www.mosport.com/tracks/mosport-i ... maps-a-pix

The restaurant is in the lower paddock area. Entrance 6 is the easiest way to get into the general parking area, in my opinion.

Once you have entered Entrance 6, paddock is straight ahead and the ramp to turn 5 is on the left.

Well, it was a great day at the races!! The Superbike race was incredible ... worth the wait for the ambulance to return.
Well, sorry I missed you all. I came by several times to see who might have showed up at noon, but then had to cover the Legends of Mosport and the begining of the race.
Anyways, if anyone is around tomorrow, we could meet at the restaurant if you want.
Take care and enjoy the race.
Tim

Well then you likely saw me Tim, because I was up there at the same time they were sending out The Legends.

I got there around 8:00am and went by the restaurant, not really expecting anyone else to be there that early, then headed straight up to get some candids at the riders' meeting.

*EDIT* Sometimes I'm more than a little slow. Like I said, you didn't move fast enough ;)

Well maybe later....
