I was thinking of running this:

But after a lot of banging my head on the wall :roll: :shock: and telling myself I couldn't possibly afford to replace any broken part on it, I decided on this:

When I couldn't afford this car, back in 1994-95 I wanted one, now that I could afford one, I really didn't want to take it to the track, except now I have an excuse to do it :lol:

Jay its actually pretty well lit in there. You'll need a flash obv but its pretty even and bright in there. RC Driver uses this place for photo shoots in the winter since they opened in March.

I really hate using my 550EX flash, actually with the 2.8 you don't need much light, so I am hoping I can get away without it.
I am not here cause I am playing photographer and on my mountain bike.

Ya you probably won't blurry backgrounds and grainy (even with dig) shots are never very magazine friendly... trust me I've tried it all in my 5 years at the magazine... nothing works WELL without a flashy flash.
