The hairpin before the front straight was the scene of some serious traffic jams on Sunday. Here traffic moves at 35mph commuter speed.

The photo position inside the hairpin is unique during the CART season (Toronto used to have a similar location, but that's another story). Knowing I wouldn't get closer to cars all season, I used the 14mm lens and shot mostly blurry pans, since the background in this turn is rather ugly when in crisp focus. Obviously, most photos taken that way are trash, but on occasion one of them does have a certain feel of speed and action.
