I have never been to a race track outside of a 1hr visit to time trials at the Molson Indy so I was quite interested in the opportunity to get close to the "action"
Most of the activity is behind the stadium. Drivers getting prepped and cars getting ready.
What I noticed was that there are all kinds of different categories of race cars.
For each race, the cars line up outside the stadium giving you so good opportunities for up close pictures.
You can get up close to the track as well. the last chicane was a great place to capture the battles for the lead.
This location also gives the photographer a chance to practice panning.
I must have taken 20-30 shots to only get one shot that was any good.
Shannonville is a very flat racetrack with no real interesting backdrops to photograph. As well there were not a lot of spectators watching.
Still, I don't know where you would get better access to the action.
I hear Mosport has a better infield for photography so I look forward to that opportunity.

Randy, Nice coverage. I didn't realize they hosted so many different classes of racers there. An old landing field course I believe. You will like Mosport..lots of elevation change and good infield.
Great pans... always a challenge. Too bad they don't run the races when the light is better. Brian
Nice pans, Randy. Looking at these reminds me of my opportunity to take a group of Canadian truck dealers for 3 days of Skip Barber 'driver training' at a road course in Willows, California, near Sacramento. We drove formula Dodge open wheel cars. What a blast!
