lens is just a nikkor 80-200 2.8. was going to bring my 300 2.8, but didn't feel it being necessary. IIRC white balance was set to 4900k.

he's just shooting nikon, so all his reds look good

And Irwindale last year came close to taking houston out for most miserable. 103 in the day and 160+ on the track is pretty miserable... although I hear that houston was more Humid (i wasn't there)
