Petit Le Mans 2010 Photos | ALMS Race Road Atlanta

I had never been to an ALMS race before and seeing as how Petit Le Mans is one of the biggest and LONGEST of all the American Le Mans races, I figured it would be a good place to get my feet wet. And WOW it was awesome, I've never been to anything like it before!

This was the 13th annual petit le mans held at Road Atlanta. It's a 10 hour or 1000 mile race, whatever comes first. This year there were a bunch of cars represented from Audi TDI race cars, to Ferrari F430's and from Corvette C6R's to Hybrid Porsches. I've shot up at the BMW performance center before and it was always a challenge. The only difference here is that the cars are pushing 200mph! Check out some of the action!
