what can I do to get a media-pass, as a photographer? I'd really like to be out there with the rest of the official guys to get some good shots, besides standing on the sidelines
Preysal was left out due to all the rain we have been having, we just didnt have the time to fix the stage, that and running in the night was a nightmare. The dust stays on the stage and we have to wait to long for it to clear before we can run the next car.
