After morning warmup at Cleveland, Emmo felt very optimistic - zooming past me on his moped and holding his thumb into my face, while yelling something in Portugese at me. Sometimes a 300mm is a pain, because most of the frames I got of this are showing little more than his thumb at close range. Only as he was a few yards away from me, did I get an image that was useful. This picture is one of my favorites so far, possibly because Emmo did this just for me, seeing I was looking for a good picture among all the bleak Penske faces that morning.
