Skip Barber racing

[gparr]

Ken Gullickson and I spent the weekend photographing Skip Barber School racing at Road America in Wisconsin. Skip Barber is a national training school for open-wheel racing. The school also holds racing events at many of the great tracks across the country. I have a friend who races in the Masters National (old guys) category, which is why we made the trip. This is my third attempt at racing photography this summer, and I think my best panning results. The shutter speed on all of these was 1/100 sec.

Nice work Gary..All show altho #4 either was a bit oof, not sharpened during processing or panning wasn't as in good sync. I'm really impressed with #1. 3 wheels showing and the angle of the shot gives a good impression of the speed and an interesting angle.
Nicely done!
