Building from the previous day’s experience we packed up our gear and set out for the track. First, we made our way to pit row for the starting of the MOTO-GT race. As the bikes were beginning to line up, you could feel the intensity starting to build. The track all the sudden had a whole new feel to it. The pit crews were ready and the riders were suited up, anxiously awaiting the start of the race.
After spending some photographing the track we then made our way back to pits to try our luck at photographing a pit stop in action. This was a challenge for us to get good pit stop photos while staying inside rules, but we managed to pull off a couple of shots.
After a short break, recovery from heat stroke, and lunch, we again made our way back to the track for the final race of the day. As the National Anthem ended with a fly over, the track roared to life.
We thought we saw fast racing before… we now realized we were wrong. At first the cars made their way around the track with the pace car. Then, once the pace car pulled off and the green flag dropped, the true roar of the cars was known, and it was deafening! The intensity of these cars going around the track made the time trials look like an evening cruise.
As the race neared its end, the drivers became more fatigued, and aggressive in an attempt to win the race. This resulted in a few accidents, bumps, and bruised egos.
The winning drivers were Scott Pruett and Memo Rojas.
After the race ended and we were once again on our way home, at that time we realized we would never be able to attend another race without a press pass again. 
P.S. Oh Yeah Patrick Dempsey was also there.
