Its always louder, more scary, and way more asphalt in your face than you can imagine or think it'd be. That's what I realized after photographing this year's LifeLock 400 NASCAR race at Michigan International Speedway, through the precarious vantage point of a hole in the fence over the track's Turn 1. The cars speed under you at 180 some mph, 8-10 ft between you and them...

Thanks to Cory Olsen of the Grand Rapids Press for filming me!

  • i wana see one of them pictures he took...anyone know where i can see them at all

  • definitely at least 200mph there. watch a race when theyre showing the speed of the cars at that point. they can reach 205 going into turn 1. plus i go to the races at MIS every year.

  • You are wrong sir. Sprint cup cars are easily running 200-215 mph at that spot. Wanna know how it felt. Looks amazing :D

  • thats legit 200 mph goin by his camrea

  • @LiViNgFeAr12 then u would have the best shot in ur life...in 2 ways

  • fuck me dude i would nvr stand there cuz a car could flip right in front of u

  • You can bet it's a very scary spot.

    Anything can happen real quick.

    I spotlighted the camera guys with similar Canon gear like myself that were peering out that hole in the fence at Iowa Speedway.

    The noise and racing fuel exhaust is brutal.

    I just finished a 69 second video just today of the Aug 02 event.

    Brave soldiers with lens, and Nice job here.

    Cheers
