This is one cool sport. Every winter for the past few years I take in a Sunday or two on Lake Scugog in Port Perry, Ontario and shoot the races. Despite a very warm December and January they are now racing on the Lake. I have a company car and decided to leave it on the mainland this year because of the warm winter we have had. Other years I have driven out to the racetrack but it would be hard to explain to HO how my car was sitting at the bottom of a lake. The bad part is I think I picked the coldest day to be out there with out the car. My D-70 and 80-400VR held up great in the very cold conditions but Peters D-20 packed it in after a half hour. Just stopped working. Once we were back in the car and the battery warmed up it came back to life. I think it gave him a good scare. Woohoo D-70!! for not letting me down. Extreme cold always makes me worry with the digital cameras and I have to take a jab at Canon when I can, they do have some pretty good equipment.
After getting a few tips this poor guy wiped out on the start. I just happened to drop my shutter speed down to 125/sec but I still got some decent shots.
10 minutes later he was blasting around the track like nothing happened
Hey! Wait for me.
Now that is what I call fun.
