It's Friday at the Grand Prix in Long Beach,  though I started my day shooting the jog-a-thon at Gant Elementary.  It has been a long day in the sun and I still have tonight's concert.  I got here early so I decided to stake out my spot around turn nine and shoot the celebrity qualifying. On my way over I saw an Indy car that crashed previously being towed off the track, cool.  It never fails that if I go to turn one, the crash is by nine and vice-versa.  I was at nine and the crash was at one, of course.  I watched Christian Slater and Tony Hawk race by, shot some pics for my family to check out their favorite celebs.  My race was the World Challenge practice and sure enough the crash was at one.  But I got to see a spin out at nine that could have potentially turned into a really bad crash but the cars made it around him.  I know you shouldn't be wishing for a crash but come on, a lot of people don't come for the races, they come to see the crashes.  Here are a couple shots from today.
