great pics..... the park is always an interesting place, but I haven't gone over the bridge in probably 5 years. The carousel is a great place to grab photos.

i typically walk around the course and take photos at a bunch of locations. this year i didn't really visit the hairpin, or really any stretch between the hairpin and turn 10. (well, i did during the speed touring car race).

most of my pictures were ~ turns 3-5, just before the drive-over bridge. (which is where a friend was camping).
