I would disagree with you.  While the odds of the film being lost are reduced,
so are the odds of it being processed correctly.  If it's really important
film, it's best to use a local pro lab ... they can also do E-6 processing in
a couple of hours, too, and usually aren't that much more expensive than the
typical one-hour mini-lab.

Of course, if you really don't trust anyone but yourself, you can always
develop it at home.  Jobo makes a variety of processors to suit most needs and
budgets, and the CPA-2 I bought used a while ago works very well indeed.

I've never shot any professional car races but did manage quite a few Trans-
AMA races twenty years ago and I've got some really neat shots of Marty Smith,
Tony D., Kent Weinert, Jim Pomeroy, et al in my files!
