THIS JUST IN! Shawn Higbee has said he and his crew will be camping with us all at the Love Shack for the Laguna weekend!!! Buy those Higbee Racing T-shirts and get them signed by Shawn, Marianne and Mitsu and consider yourself a sponsor of Higbee Racing for the weekend. Details to follow but hey, how cool is that - ?? | ||

Sounds cool to me! Should be a blast!  Last year I got some great shots, but was very limited with only a 28-200 zoom. This year, I've got a Canon EOS-1D, with a 100-400 zoom that I will be bringing. This will be a BIG improvement. | ||
