HSR West Southern Californa Historic Sportscar Festival

So a few weeks ago, I picked up a Canon 20D and decided that the HSR West races at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, CA would be a great time to test it out. So I did some name drops and viola, I was given a press credential (thanks Greg for letting me use the NICO name.)

Keep in mind these are my first attempts at panning shots so be gentle and enjoy!




















This is my favorite sequence from today's races:


















Green flag start for the Datsun/Nissan Challenge:












Ron Carter overtaking Bill Pritchard on the front straight on the oval:








And the last shot of the day:

The #33 Roadster and the #66 Wagon are both badass.

Ron's roadster is awesome but it was acting up, same with Adam Carolla's #27 roadster. Ron's was having some carb/fuel issues so we had to yank the carbs and rejet them to fix it. Adam's car would bog HORRIBLY on the hard right hander I was shooting from, not sure if it was a fuel pick up issue or what.

Thanks! I actually met the Editor In Chief of Motor Mavens and he wants to feature some of the shots on the site. Not a bad deal for my first trip out with the rig!
