Photos from ALMS Mid Ohio '09 NSX Corral

We got an amazing tour of RealTime Acura's paddock courtesy of champion driver Peter Cunningham. And we also got a behind the scenes tour of the Highcroft Patron racing paddock and trailers as well as an in-depth technical tour of their new LMP1 car.

Here are a few photos:

BTW, I'm sorry about the poor image quality. It seems Picasaweb puts the images through some signficant compression resulting in all the artifacts.

Anyone know of a better free image sharing service?

Oh and here's a rather amusing photo from the event:

If you're interested, there is a great write up on the new Acura ARX-02a prototype in Racecar Engineering Magazine (I found it at Borders here in the US).
