Eh. Oh well. I heard some locals talking about ordering some shots online
from our May Heartland Park event, and I thought that you hosted the proofs for a while. Thanks for clarifying!
BTW, there were quite a few tUnErIzEd shots from my run group on Friday/Saturday. You had a great perspective from your vantage point, but I couldn't bring myself to buy one of the slanted kind.
I was hoping that you'd straighten the camera on Sunday, but never made it to the trailer after the last session.
Will you be at Road America on September 19 and 20?

We weren't at your event in May, due to low turnout, so I have no idea who the locals
were talking about. Was there even a photog there? We cancelled, with Kirk's blessing, two days prior when the turnout hadn't increased.
We have been in this biz for 13 years and worked with web purchasing for a while. It just doesn't pay, as the time involved is too great.
We shoot 18,000-22,000 photos per event. The upload times, even on a T1 line, are in the hundreds of hours. The hosting cost is in the hundreds of dollars per event.
Now consider we shoot 120+ events per year, driving to all. No time to upload and WAY too much to upload (20-25 GB per event).
Most track photographers shoot 1,0000-3,000 images per event and offer CD's with 5-15 images on them. Some go as high as 35-40. We generally provide CD's with 85-150 images per CD, and we don't reduce file size (nor work with cameras with poor file sizes) as many of our competitors do. Most track photographers also shoot 10-20 events per year, not 120+, coast to coast. Our business is totally different.
We often carry the past events with us in the trailer, so you might be able to see past Audi Club events at future event.
Take care and yes, we will see you at Road America!
