I've done a number of road races with them. They were good to work with but for the amount of wear and tear on the camera (I was running through ~1000 pictures/hr) there are definitely easier and better ways to make money. Note too that they have lowered their rates at least a couple times in the last couple years. I last shot for them in October but I haven't done anything since although I've been offered quite a few assignments. That being said, they are a good company and can provide a good starting point and a reasonable amount of work (especially during the early part of the year) if you're looking to make some money. However, keep in mind that with overhead, wear and tear, etc you probably won't really be making all that much. Let me know if you have any other questions!

Jason,

Thanks for the info. Their rates did seem a bit low and I would be taking away from time spent building my own business. I may do a few gigs with them just to see how they manage things.
