99% Humidity

99% Humidity

Formula One goes to some amazing venues. Monaco. Singapore. Austin. Montreal. Japan. Brazil. But ask any of the drivers which are up there in terms of physically demanding races, and they all put the Malaysian Grand Prix as one of the toughest. But forget the drivers, the photographers have to endure the conditions too! Oppressive heat. Torrential rain. Blinding sun. More heat and yet still more rain! It’s tough for everyone out there. Why? It’s pretty simple. The humidity.

12 Hours of Sunscreen

12 Hours of Sunscreen

10:15pm on Saturday March 15. The fireworks explode overhead in the night sky. The first 12 hours of Sebring of a truly new American sports car era has ended. And it was a strange one. Look down the pit lane at Sebring and you’ll see the name of the winning manufacturer from each year hanging on the pit lane building. Names like Porsche, Peugeot, Ferrari, Nissan, Audi, Audi, Audi, Audi look out over the iconic track…..and now, A Ford EcoBoost Daytona Prototype hangs with them

Memories from 2013

What a year 2013 has been. The highlights? Sebastian Loeb’s mesmerizing Pikes Peak run will certainly be something I tell my grand children (or anyone else who will listen) I was there to see, and hear, in person. Formula One in Singapore certainly stands up at the top as well. It is a city and race venue that has to be seen to be believed. NASCAR roaring around the tight oval at Martinsville. Indycar’s turbo madness bouncing around the confining walls of St. Petersburg’s str

Master of Martinsville

Master of Martinsville

In motorsport, there are a few names that assert absolute dominance. It’s not always fair, it’s not always easy to like them. But they are on top, and consistently so. Jimmie Johnson is definitely among them. And nestled in the rural plains of southern Virginia, not far from the North Carolina border, is one of the few tracks where Johnson is usually his most dominant. Martinsville dates all the way back to the sport’s earliest races. NASCAR in this region is steeped in histo

Pictures of the Year 2012

What an incredible and completely wild ride 2012 has been. Where do I even begin to sum it all up? Four Indycar races; Two Grand Am races; Three NASCAR races; Two ALMS races; Four days of Formula One testing in Barcelona; the inaugural United States Grand Prix in Austin; the 24 Hours of Le Mans; a two week trip to England covering five racing series at three different tracks; the Kentucky Derby; 12 days in Colorado for Pikes Peak International Hill Climb; the Harry Miller Clu

It’s 3:40 in the afternoon and I’m strolling down the long, fast backstretch at Road Atlanta, approximately 4 hours into the 10 hour endurance race called Petit Le Mans (little le mans). I think this must be heaven. Cars are roaring by just feet away making a symphony of different sounds. The smell of food from fans charcoal grilling trackside delicacies outside their campsites is mixing with the distinct aroma of racing engines at speed. The weather is perfect; Cloudless and

GT1 Drama at Donington Park

GT1 Drama at Donington Park

The stiff breeze at Donington Park is making the cold day even colder. This historic former F1 track is best known for Ayrton Senna’s triumphant charge through the field in 1993. But today, there are no F1 cars to be seen or heard. At half past 9:30am, a triumphant roar of noise rises up from the pitlane a quarter mile away and cars head toward the track. FIA GT1 qualifying is underway. The GT1 championship is a struggling racing series. On the one hand, you have a collection

Back to the Inner Harbor

The clock is winding down the last few minutes of qualifying. I’m standing on the outside of a fairly tight 90 degree turn that is so typical of city street circuits, like this one in downtown Baltimore, Maryland. My left elbow and thigh are just barely touching the concrete barrier separating me from the race track. My 400mm lens and Nikon body pressed to my left eye, while my right eye is wide open watching for anything I can’t see through the narrow field of view in the ca

North of the Border

Standing on the top of a hill, with a dense forest of green trees and undergrowth in front of you, and the massive expanse of water from the St. Lawrence river behind you, you’d be forgiven to think you were in paradise. But that quiet utopia is interrupted. At first it’s a distant rumble. Nothing to take note of. The birds continue chirping, the groundhogs go about their business. But that distant rumble turns to a deafening roar and the ground beneath you begins to shake as

American Heroes, Booze, Sun and NASCAR

With bubbas, bankers, and everyone in between filling the grandstands for the 53rd running of the Coca Cola 600, NASCAR once more gave the command to fire engines at Charlotte Motorspeedway on a warm and sunny Memorial Day weekend. Being one of the crown jewels on the NASCAR calendar, as well as the longest sanctioned race of the year, Charlotte Motorspeedway and NASCAR wanted to put on a show that would celebrate the sacrifices our veterans, past and present, have made for o
