Again, I have done no editing or crops on these...

This is my first time shooting high speed action. I didn't have enough room to pan with the cars due to the people watching the race. This was the only real clear shot that I could get...

You got some interesting shots despite the location but it is going to be a major pain trying to crop with that wall in the way :(

Love the pic of them heading the other way though.

I guess I didn't have enough badges like the other guys that were on the other side of the snow fence up against the jersey...:(

Wow, I sure wish my town had a local vintage race.
Your photos look amazing!

I like your shot (& edit) of the 3-wheelin" Saab. Good action conveyed there with the formula car in hot pursuit. I think I'd be tempted to crop it in some more on the right to help fill the frame and bring the action even closer. I wonder if the bright nose of the formula could be toned down a bit? Way to bring out the racing character of a neat old machine!

Regards

Mark
