	Entry into Turn 8a at Laguna Seca - Dario smoked his tires just about every lap of the race

Technical Info lens   :   35-350mm f3.5-5.6 body   :   EOS A2  exposure   :   f8 1/125th sec film   :   Agfa 100asa flash   :   none support   :   none                               Photo Notes During practice already this turn right before the corkscrew was the place to be to see tire smoke. But during the race as cars got loose and rubber was building up, several cars locked their left front tire each time they approached this turn. Just before the first pit stop sequence, Dario Franchitti seemed to ignore tire life and lit it up each lap. This is one of them. The dark body of the car helps to make it look bigger than it actually was.
