USCA Las Vegas 2015 Photo Coverage

[amyteshima]

I took a ridiculous amount of photos this past weekend at USCA Las Vegas and ended up editing and uploading about 10% of them to my Flickr (full album here (https://www.flickr.com/photos/amyteshima/sets/72157651770502887/)), but wanted to share some of them here as well. As usual, USCA/Optima Batteries put together an awesome event and I enjoyed spectating as well as photographing for Ultimate Performance.

To start off, some paddock photos of prepped cars, familiar faces, and cute pups.

The weather took a 180 for Sunday’s road course.

Most cars had their share of troubles, as is the nature of racing.

Nevertheless, the weekend was competitive and fun throughout. Congratulations to the winners, and thank you to the sponsors and organizers for another great event :)

Thanks for posting the great pictures.

The event was awesome and we had a great time pushing "Underdog" (aka The Big Red Truck) around the course. Look forward to running Fontana in October.

Amy -- Your photos are better than "being there"!! Thank you! Had my wife not had knee surgery - I'd have gone down for the weekend. They're so much fun!

The Big Red Truck sure was fun to watch :) I am also excited to photograph at Fontana--my home track!

Great pics Amy.


Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed them!

Thank you, Chad! I honestly think there should be an award for you driving your Camaro to the event...and back.

Amy -- Your photos are better than "being there"!! Thank you! Had my wife not had knee surgery - I'd have gone down for the weekend. They're so much fun!

I'm glad you enjoyed the photos, I definitely put in an effort to recreate as many aspects of the event as I can through the photos I take. Sending my best wishes to your wife, I hope her recovery is smooth and quick :)
