Canadian Grand Prix 2013

I love the irony of a scenic island park, lined with trees in the middle of the fast flowing St. Lawrence river in Montreal, combined with the insane decibel level, high octane, billion dollar industry of Formula One. One minute you could be sitting quietly leaning against a tree listening the water flowing by with the birds chirping above you and a groundhog nibbling not 10 feet away, and the next minute your ears are painfully ringing as Red Bull Racing’s Sebastian Vettel floors the accelerator letting loose 750 horsepower from his V8 engine.

But that is the what makes the Canadian Grand Prix so wonderful. The irony, the beauty, the power, the fast paced dance of Grand Prix racing on the narrow treelined roads of this island motorsport paradise

NASCAR’s Gladiators

May 21, 2013 • Recent Work • by

NASCAR fans are absolutely rabid for any amount of interaction they can get with their heroes & their villains on the banked tarmac ovals. These motorsport gladiators travel from one sleepy town to the next, week in and week out for much of the year, all for the sake of entertaining the common man.

NASCAR puts on a show. Of that there is no doubt. But it’s easy to forget that there are people behind the visor and behind the sponsor decals.

At about 11:30am on Saturday May 4 and the Churchill Downs track conditions have officially changed to “sloppy”. And that description more or less summed up the weather for the 139th running of the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky. Read More…

I think I say it every year. And of course I’m heavily biased because my family founded the event back in the mid 1990′s, but the Queen’s Cup Steeplechase HAS to be Charlotte’s best kept secret. Read More…

Changing of the Guard in MotoGP

MotoGP is a fascinating sport. It is dominated by a few, but adored by many millions around the globe. Sometimes drawing more crowds to a race than the four wheeled Grand Prix cars do. Austin’s Circuit of the Americas played host to it’s first race weekend last November for the second to last round of the Formula One championship.  Five short months later, the Grand Prix bikes had their chance at the massive 3.4 mile Texas behemoth for round two of the MotoGP World Championship.

Professional racing drivers don’t just arrive at the top. They work their way up a long and complicated ladder competing in many different series and against thousands of other drivers. And many of them start their careers as kids in karting. Read More…

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. Read More…

Normally when I head off for a race weekend, I am excited, honored, thrilled and filled with adrenaline to cover the top tiers of motorsport. It’s fun because you know these drivers are the best on the planet at what they do. I’ve walked around NASCAR Sprint Cup garages, had breakfast with Formula One drivers, shared laughs with multiple Le Mans winning drivers and set foot in pretty much every paddock and pit area known to motorsport. But this past weekend, instead of focusing on the professional drivers at the pinnacle of their sport, I had the chance to photograph the up and comers. The teenagers who are the future of racing. Still learning. Still growing. It was a fantastic change of pace.

The End of an Era at Sebring

Sebring is an icon in American motorsport. The great races we all love so dearly have one thing in common: heritage. You can feel Sebring’s heritage just walking up next to the race track on Sunday morning. Those old cracks and rubber filled concrete slabs along the front straightaway have seen many a race car run by. It’s really something special. And the greatest teams in the history of sports car racing have always brought their best cars and drivers decade after decade to challenge the grueling 12 hours.  Read More…

Car Porn in Geneva

Let me paint a picture in your head, then I’ll stop rambling and let you enjoy the photos.

Imagine for a moment, the biggest room you have ever seen in your life. Then multiply it by four. You now have the Palexpo, the location for the 83rd annual Geneva Motor Show in Geneva, Switzerland. Now take those four enormous rooms and fill them from wall to wall with car makers of all shapes and sizes showing all of their most popular, futuristic, expensive, exotic, never before seen, and fan favorite automobiles. Now fill that room again with journalists and photographers from every country on Earth. Now add some gorgeous women sitting on, and mingling around the cars……and you kind of get the idea what the Geneva motor show is like. To put it simply, it is an overwhelming experience.  Read More…
