Unfortunately, it didn't happen. The deck was too low. They took off at noon, flew around and tried to get low, but about 15 minutes before the National Anthem they called it off.
We had a photog on the roof of the condos in Turn 2, and he would have had an awesome shot.

I talked to the pilots on Monday, their minimum ceiling was 2500, they got vectors to 2000 but ceiling was around 1000, so they flew over at ~2000. You could hear them but not see them (isn't that just like a stealth?)
I photographed them on Tuesday when 2 of 3 departed, but it was first light and the pics are crap. carswell_dude on fencecheck.com shot them upon arrival on Friday, check page 12 of this thread

Sorry to hear your pics didn't turn out well...our video was stellar.
