Your welcome, life was a little simpler this time when I opted to claim the first pit spot by the stands as videograper / photograhper, parking only lol. Turned what normally was a long longwalk each time I shot some changed to only about 30 ft. and allowed me to video and get things ready to race at the same time.
Guess I need to do that all the time, I wasn't nearly as worn out as usual from all the hiking.
Probably could have shot more, but I living on the edge only having one battery with me and waned to make sure here was enough juice left for the finals. well though I only had one, finally found one of the others in the pocket behind the seat yesterday... guess I stuck it in there before MATM.  Oh well, and just ordered 2 more batteries and an extra charger yesterday right before I found that one lol  Shouldn't be an issue in the future..
