How did the Special Effects hold up to the 4K treatment?

A better race overall today, and radios were working on the Indycar app again. If you aren't Scott McLaughlin... who was taken out quickly by Devlin 'losing my ride' Defrancesco. Palou and crew were at least lapping traffic this time around. Veekay kept getting a bit lucky on that end of...

Iowa 1, what a dreafully poor race. Time to ditch the hybrid? Very little passing. Not even lapping on the short oval. O'Ward beat Newgarden out of the pit in the last set of stops and that was that. Even Newgarden couldn't pass and the dude owns that track.

Reviews are all over the place for this film. But from what I can tell, it should be the first Superman involved film I'll see in well over a decade or two (that didn't involve a Rifftrax). Hopefully this is the start of a viable DC movie run that is actually good.

What a peculiar bundle Drama and Classics is. Sundance, TNT and local add ons?

Here are a few shots from the weekend. Pierson (NXT driver), Exit of Turn 6. Schwartzman, Front Stretch, just past start/finish. USF Pro Driver, Exit of Turn 8. USF Pro Driver, Entry into Turn 7. Some Dutch driver I've never mentioned before in the Carousel. Kiffin Simpson...

Well, three days, 85 to 92ish degrees. Didn't quite finish baking like a potato. Went through close to 6 gallons of water, a couple large Gatorades, a few sodas... Veekay, OMG... had an awful Friday and Saturday. Nothing. Neither he no Abel could find speed. At least at Road America, Veekay was...

Big hollywood style crash in the NXT race. Both drivers got out and walked away. Close to taking out the flagger stand.

He was fine. Got out pretty quickly. I managed to get a pic right after the impact but while still moving. Found a sweetspot atop the garages for track photos. So many obstructions up there, but there is a good spot for shots. And shaded! Saw Herta back it into the tire barrier yesterday, but...

Warm today. But was able to bump into Palou almost right away.

Hot with what appears to be low humidity... and not much chance of rain. I was hoping for rain during the race. Will Palou or Kirkwood win... again? Will O'Ward repeat last year's feat?

Mid-Ohio not looking as hot as Road America, but pretty close. Fewer places to hide at Mid-Ohio.

Interesting interview with Katherine Legge. Nice to see she had a similar reaction to her performance in Mexico as I did. I think she'd benefit from a series or two lower and learn the car format better. It isn't sportscar.

This is transitioning out of Turn 12 (Canada Corner). For some reason Canada Corner has a wooden statue with a bald eagle (foreground) and a US flag. Wooden statues are a thing at Road America. A local does the wood carvings and apparently very good at them. They are all about and sometimes easy...

Here is a sequence of Schwartzman after turn 14, ready to head up the hill to the start/finish. I need more experience with this sort of photography. As a proto-amateur, kind of go deer in the headlights. I needed to step down the zoom (in hindsight), but I did know and the zoom lens I have...
