Updates to racepulse.com - Last Update - Friday November 26, 2021

With the completion of another racing season, i'll be able to increase my updates to racepulse. Attending races 2 or 3 days per week left me with a backlog of photos. My weekly photo update of 2 to 4 thousand photos couldn't keep up with my shooting (eg - 11 races over 17 days/ 32,000 photos).

Please check back. Everything will be online.

Thanks.
