p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Honda Indy Grand Prix of Alabama 2014


Shot the Honda Indy Grand Prix for openwheelnow.com

Sat was hot, Sun was wet. Storms came in Sunday and delayed the start to 4:15pm. NBC was contractually bound to show the NHL playoff game at 6pm so the race was set to last 1:40.00.

Either way, it was a decent race for me. Had a few angles I wanted to try. Really wet.

Hey Michael,

It was good to see you at the race this past weekend. I was lucky enough to leave before the Indy race started Sun.- it started raining on me on the way home but I did get to shoot all day Sat & Sun morning.

Great shots.

Ted

Markb8705: If you are working for a publication, then it's fairly easy. Freelance? Probably really tough.

Freelance is tough. I had applied every year & been denied. This year I reapplied at the first of the week of the race & got accepted Thurs night- I do shoot for a couple of the area mag/news publications but I didn't really expect to get credentials & was going to go anyway . It had been pretty easy to get credentials for all of the other auto & motorcycle races there, but IndyCar is much bigger than the other races.
