2004 Chaparral Gallery Opening : We have been fans of Jim Hall's Chaparrals since our teens.  (The 2E / 2G are at the top of our favorite race cars of all time list.) The Petroleum Museum in Midland, Texas added a whole new wing to house Hall's creations and thus preserve them for all time. The gallery opened in April of 2004 and we were there to photograph both the gallery and the Chaparral Cars compound.  We watched Jim fire up the 2F model and, escorted by Texas State Police, drive it out of the compound to deliver it in person to the gallery.  For us, this weekend was akin to realizing the dream of arriving in heaven! Hey, almost everything was a heavenly white anyway!  :)

2007 Rolex 24 Hours At Daytona : Daytona International Speedway may not offer the same traditional ambience of a true road course, but it is a place filled with sportscar history and so very many racing greats have run in the Rolex 24.  If you have never been to Daytona for the Rolex 24 Hours, you have to make plans to go!

A BMW Racing Scrapbook : BMW is our favorite marque. We love the style and build quality of their street cars (not so much the latest iterations) and the 3-Series race cars championed by teams like Tom Milner's PTG, MCM, BMW and others.  And when you look back at the names of those who have driven BMW's - Auberlen, Stuck, Questor, Lehto, Kristensen, Jonsson, among others - you have to feel confident a BMW always had a shot at a win.  Please enjoy this modest collection of images of some beautiful BMW race cars.

NHIS Vintage Celebration Paddock : Loudon, NH. The annual Vintage Festival featured cold weather and rain. But quite a few vintage car owners braved the conditions to exercise their machinery on NHIS's roadcourse. Here are some highlights from my paddock walk.

Ferrari : The Ferrari Challenge series was joined by several vintage race cars from decades past in a speed filled weekend on the 3.25 mile full course at Virginia International Raceway.  Hopefully these images capture some of the color (mostly red) of the event filled weekend. Some of the vintage cars are worth millions of dollars yet they raced as hard as when titles were on the line.
