Turn 5 at Elkhart Lake lets you work the camera right at eye-level of the drivers, and if you position yourself properly with a long lens, you may just get to see their faces on one the few photos that actually will turn out in focus. It helps to have overcast light, otherwise most drivers will use heavily tinted visors. This photo is barely cropped - I do like to stick my lenses in as close as possible, which also blurs out the rather dull background in that location rather nicely.
