Historic Racing in Daytona

[midgeman]

I'm sharing photos from the HSR Classic 24 Hour at Daytona. It was the first "24 hour" vintage/historic/classic race to be held in the USA. I use quotes because each car wasn't technically required to run a total of 24 hours. The event was setup in six run groups organized by era and run in one hour increments four times, totaling in 24 hours. It was easily my greatest photography and motorsport experience to date. I rented a 7DII (which I now own) and 70-200 2.8 to use along with my current kit. Thanks for looking. The full set can be seen in my Flickr album.

My buddy and I put together a wrap-up article from the weekend that can be seen here: A Glimpse at Racing's Glorious Past: The Inaugural Classic 24 Hour at Daytona - AForwardMotion

Wow, that's a hell of a set. Great stuff. That red panning shot in front of the white stands is really nice! Is that a 'vette?
