Updates to racepulse.com - Last Update - Friday January 21, 2021

Here are some new photos - sorry for the delay in updates (dealing with an emergency). I'll try to have more asap - thanks.

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.
