Champ Car was pretty well dead at this point. All the big names from the golden days have long been gone, save Paul Tracy, and the field was pretty small. Fortunately though they were with the American Le Mans series, which is just swell. Unfortunately they were crammed into a little street circuit in Houston. It was a pretty bad layout for onsite spectators, especially for taking pictures with no press pass. Oh well, I played with what I could get, it was still a fun trip. Most of the racing was at night which makes for even worse picture taking, I had borrowed an external flash though and it helped some, though I had no idea what i was doing.
