Mid Ohio into the Carousel. Christian Fittipaldi getting used to the reduced downforce of a '96 Lola during one of his first laps of the weekend. Right on the hill under heavy braking -"passenger, we have liftoff!" I was just taking advantage of the Friday morning light and the great green background when Christian decided to put some spunk into my photo. The smoke was so think, it stuck around long enough to make my next shot of Bryan Herta appear like another brake lockup. The sound of an IndyCar tire locking up is something quite unique...
