CAT Cup - Peterborough R/C Trucks



I recently discovered that Peterborough has an R/C dirt track and a club, the Peterborough Monster R/C Club. My brother who was on vacation from Alberta owns several trucks, so we decided to check out the CAT Cup racing action on Saturday Oct. 27th. The weather was miserable with off and on rain (heavy at times), and as we drove over we expected the races would have been cancelled. When we arrived we where pleasantly surprised to find a good crowd of racers (imagine if the weather had been good). If we had known that they would still be racing, we probably would have gone out earlier in the day. We stayed for two or three races before having to go pick up my daughter to take her swimming. The action was fast and the dirt was flying, I had to clean up the camera gear afterwards.

Rowing, Lacrosse and Boxing

Saturday was a very busy day of shooting. I started off the day by shooting rowing at the Head of the Trent. I had got off work at 4 am and only slept for an hour before heading out to get the rowers in the early morning light and mist on the water. (more pics)





Later that day I moved on to shooting Trent University Men's Field lacrosse. (more pics)


As soon as the field lacrosse ended, I headed over to the Trentwinds for some boxing. I arrived during the intermission, which gave me time to grab a quick bite to eat before getting back to shooting. (more photos)
