Another shot available from the infield at Turn 9 is this one looking up-course toward Laguna Seca's Turn 8A and the famous "corkscrew".  Cars here take an aggressive stance as they squat down under power accelerating out of the steeply downhill corner. 

This isn't a shot for bright August mornings, though --  the sun will be behind and to the right of the car.  In this picture I still had diffused light from the morning fog and enjoyed freedom from the tyranny of sun angles.
