>>3111291I haven't been there but will I be going but here's some stuff:
It'll be an open paddock with really good access to everything, plenty of chances to get something good there.
Play with angles and different ideas, look for spots others might not think of.
Try talking to some of the pro photographers, learn some stuff, a lot of them are willing to have a chat.
Bring a really long lens, like a 400mm or something, renting a lens for the day/weekend is generally pretty affordable, like $30. From photos it looks like the track is pretty far away from the spectator areas so the long lens is more important compared to some other tracks like Watkins Glen or long beach where you can get really close.
Your best opportunities for photos will be during practice sessions but qualifying and the race are also good.
For panning you'll want to get to shutter speeds slower than 1/100th although your keeper rate will go way down the slower you shoot. It take a lot of practice to get it right.
You might want to bring a handheld radio and some ear defenders with an aux input so you can listen to the IMSA radio broadcast
Bring snacks. Have fun.
