In addition to the IZOD IndyCar Series and the USF2000 National Championship, the American Le Mans Series and the SCCA Pro Racing Pirelli World Challenge were at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course last weekend. As always, the Cadillac CTS-Vs in the PWC sounded absolutely amazing! Robertson Racing’s FordGT were missed this week, but the new SRT Viper made it’s debut. I must admit that although it looked cool, it’s sound and performance were underwhelming compared to the Corvettes. MidOhio was their first event, however, and given that, I can cut…

IndyCar and USF2000 Photos from MidOhio
I *FINALLY* have all of the photos from the IndyCar & ALMS weekend at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. Here’s the USF2000 National Championship and the IZOD IndyCar Series photos. The sports car photos will be up in a separate post soon. USF2000 National Championship Photos IZOD IndyCar Photos
Read MoreIndyCar – Iowa Corn 250 in Photos
The low-aero formula once again produced magnificent racing! While my pick this week, Mayor Hinchcliffe, ended up with a busted hot rod at the entrance to pit road, the racing action all through the evening was fantastic. It was a little iffy whether we were going to get the race in given the twin deluges that struck the Iowa Speedway Saturday afternoon, but with the Firestone Indy Lights race postponed until after the IZOD IndyCar Series race, the big cars took the green flag right on schedule. …or at least…
Read MoreMazda Road to Indy – Iowa Star Mazda and Indy Lights Photos
What a long weekend! Friday was brutal hot, and Saturday was stormy and wet. Unfortunately, we were not able to stay for the Firestone Indy Lights race which was delayed due to the afternoon thunderstorms. It started after the IZOD IndyCar Series race around midnight. Since we had to be back in Kansas City by 8am for another photo gig, the FIL race was a write-off. It’s a shame, since it sounds like it was a great race that few actually got to see. The Star Mazda race ended just…
Read MoreIndyCar – Photos from the 2012 Milwaukee IndyFest
Andretti Sports Marketing helped bring INDYCAR back to the oldest motor racing circuit in the world, The Milwaukee Mile. The schedule was VERY condensed so we only saw the Firestone Indy Lights and IZOD IndyCar Series compete as opposed to the full Mazda Road to Indy program and USAC that we saw last year, but the organization, promotion, and execution of the event was far more effective than last year’s event. What a great two days of racing, in spite of the rain that delayed Saturday’s start to the IZOD…
Read MoreRally – Photos from the 2012 STPR
Tom and Brenda survived the severe weather on Friday, although their camp site was quite battered. They were able to recover on Saturday and continue taking some fantastic images of the 2012 Susquehannock Performance Trail Rally. We’ll have a full review of the event soon, but for now congratulations to Antoine L’Estage and Nathalie Richard for overcoming Day 1 cooling issues and taking the overall win. O’Sullivan and Putnam took the Super Production victory, and Duplessis and Kihurani survived the 2WD battle with the Aussies.
Read MoreIndyLights – 2012 Firestone Freedom 100 Recap
As usual, the Firestone Freedom 100, held on Carburetion “Carb” Day, featured some of the closest and most exciting racing you’re ever going to see! The cars have enough downforce that the drivers can put them nearly anywhere on the 2.5-mile oval of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway that they like. The result is crazy, insane, four-wide racing down the front stretch and two- or even three-wide racing around the turns! …ok, usually the three-wide in the turns stuff doesn’t always work out so well. This year’s race went a little…
Read MoreIndyCar – Fast Friday Fotos
I’d love to have many more photos to, show you than just these, but unfortunately it appears that I’ve experienced one of those dreaded catastrophes that strike every photographer at some point. Memory car failure! I lost all of my wide-angle shots from Fast Friday today. 🙁 CARP! Fortunately, it’s early in the week, and there’s plenty of time to retake those lost shots. At least it didn’t happen on Race Day!
Read MoreRally – Photos from the Oregon Trail Rally
We extend huge thanks and MAD props to Mike Shaw for his contributions to our coverage of the 3rd Round of the Rally America National Championship, the Oregon Trail Rally. Not only did he offer up a very nice summary and write-up, Fan Perspective of Oregon Trail Rally Pt. 1, he also offered us a collection of outstanding images from the event, all taken from the spectator areas! His work should be proof-positive that you don’t need the fancy media vest or the monster glass to take some great images…
