I've shot a lot of frames of automobiles racing over the last few years. I
don't know if I've shown this one to the group or not, but it's one of my
favorites. Taken at Road Atlanta's Turn 10 during the 2007 Petit le Mans
sportscar race, just before the sun went below the hills.

One of the Panoz Esperante cars had spun out into a gravel trap off to the
right of the shot a few feet. After coming almost to a stop in the
gravel, he pulled it together and surfed over to the pavement, creating a
huge dust cloud. In the photo, he's just regained the pavement and
started accelerating through the dust cloud to continue the race.
Unfortunately, the wind was fairly still, and it took a couple of minutes
before you could see into, much less through, the dust cloud. Several
drivers had some exciting moments going through that cloud.
