Thanks everyone for the compliments. I appreciate it. 
Mad... yes, www.elitephotophx.com. My site is small and basic. Since most of my work is not generated my my site I have not invested much time or money into it.
Canon vs Nikon, I like both but personally shoot Canon. Nikon seems to make faster cameras that are great for shooting sporting events but I do like Canons offerings a little better myself. The 5D mark II is an AMAZING body for shooting what I shoot most....models, but its not super fast for shooting RC. If funds permitted I would also buy the cheaper 7D to shoot RC. I typically shoot RAW like yourself and then run them through CS. For the shots I did at NC I shot JPG just to make it easier on myself for post production since most of these photos are needing to be burned to disc the same day I took them and handed over to some of the racers tomorrow.

My wife and I checked out your web site. Very good work!
Thanks for the info, it's always nice to meet a fellow photographer.
If you're in the mood, at the races tomorrow look for a guy... Will Mandujano. Give him a hello for me from Gregg & Melanie in Grande Prairie. He's a Nikon shooter from Canada. Also does some very nice work in R/C photography. If you get a chance to check out his work, he is quite creative in his angles and perspectives. Very interesting work to look at. He chases the RC Pro series up here in Alberta Canada with his R/C and his camera. I'd be very surprised if you didn't find him with his camera on hand! LOL!

I know pretty much every Canadian down there racing this weekend, but I thought you and Will might hit it off because he's a fellow photographer. If you run into a bunch of crazy Canuks from Northern Alberta, tell them all to quit being a bunch of hosers and win some races, eh! LOL!

Thanks Dish. I dont have any photos of the entire track but I think one of the media companies posted a nice looking one in this topic somewhere I think. I dont have a fisheye lens or super super wide angled lens for doing shots like that.
As far as that vid, im sure LiveRC or someone will post it on you tube soon.

The truck main was definitely some of the most impressive driving I have seen in a while, if ever. Two full wood, over the top passes by mayfield on the back right corner. And another time he was upside down off of that jump and saved it and still cleared the next double like nothing happened. Hats off to Tebo too as I thought the race was over when Ryan jumped him on the last lap. Alot of people would have weekened there with the crowd going wild and such a dominating pass. He just came right back and did the same thing to Ryan on the triple. These guys are amazing.

By the way, how are those metal hubs working out on the jq car.
