Memories in the Fast Lane

While my main focus of my trip with Mike was to photograph him racing at Watkins Glen I also had a couple of small side quest that I wanted to accomplish while I was there. First up was catching up with my old friend Garrett Hamilton who helped teach me a lot about photography when I was starting out. Hell he was still giving me tips that weekend while we were out shooting. Garrett moved back to New York a few years ago and while we have chatted either over phone calls or text I hadn't seen him since he had left. We ended up meeting up Friday evening and exploring Watkins Glen State Park which is full of beautiful waterfalls and home to Rainbow Falls. I have dreamed of this place for a few years now after coming across it on a computer screen saver. It is a truly beautiful place but if ever plan on visiting make sure you bring good walking shoes and be prepared to climb a bunch of stairs. I will definitely be going back at some point for sure.

It has been a busy last few weeks. After the canceled MOR rally in early July I made the trip with my buddy Mike C***s to Watkins Glen New York to help him out at the Gridlife event. This was my first ever trip to New York and it was definitely one to remember. As for the event itself the weather was pretty perfect all weekend other than a couple of pretty chilly nights when we first arrived. As for Mike's car we ran into some overheating issues after the first day of testing and eventually found out that he likely blew a head gasket. After talking with the guys at Ecotech and some of the other teams around the paddock we basically came to the same game plan when he had a similar issue at Road Atlanta earlier this year. Basically go out and do a warm up lap, a full out lap, and a cool down lap before returning to the pits to bleed the coolant system again. Since he wasn't dealing with a lot of really hot coolant temps it was able to hold together long enough to make a run at the podium sprint. Even with the limited amount of laps on a brand new track to him he was still able to set the third fastest time in his class and guarantee his spot in the podium sprint. Once the podium sprint started Mike went out last so that his slow warm up lap wouldn't hinder any of the other teams running. With one lap to give it his all he was able to lay down a 2:07.372 time giving him a 3rd place finish. Not bad for limited track time and a crippled engine. On our way back we dropped the car off at Ecotech for them to get ready for the next event. I believe they figured out the source of the issue so I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out. Next up we leave next week to head up for our final event at Lime Rock Park in Connecticut. Once again this track will be another first for me. Wish us luck!

Well me and my son came down to Steelville Friday night with plans to shoot media for the Missouri Ozark Rally. Unfortunately mother nature had other plans at the area received a record amount of rainfall the night before causing damage to roads, bridges, and intense flooding. With the area experiencing such destruction the decision was made to cancel the rally. With some volunteers and even race crews already in the area ready to race we decided to shift our efforts to help the local community that has shown so much support to the rallies over the years and now was out time to show our support for them. With everyone still trying to gather their bearings and figuring out where to start we didn't have a lot of direction to go. Some of us went down to the Huzzah Valley Resort and some went down to help with clean up in Davisville. We spent the day moving furniture, cleaning up trash, and even removing a downed tree that was blocking most of the road. The area will have a long road ahead of them over the next few weeks and probably a few months to rebuild and fix things but they are strong and will come together to prosper. To the ones that lost loved ones to the flooding my heart go out to you in these difficult times. For anyone still missing I pray for a safe return

Hopefully everyone had a wonderful 4th of July and nobody lost any fingers having fun. This week I will be heading down the Steelville Missouri for the Missouri Ozark Rally next Saturday. If any drivers or teams are looking for photo packages please feel free to shoot me a message with your car info. I am looking forward to catching up with everyone next weekend.

I just realized I never posted up any photos from the last Precision Drift event down at Ozark International Raceway in May.

Next batch of photos from Gridlife/Formula D Road Atlanta last week. I gotta say there isn't many things better than standing next to a race track while you have 1000+ horsepower cars screaming next to you and covering everything in smoke.
