I shot this photo as I walked though the paddock at the Pacific Northwest Historics, which happen every year over the 4th of July weekend at Pacific Raceways in Kent, WA. The “NW Historics” are a great place to get up close and personal with old cars, both race and stock. Spectators are free to walk the paddock, which is wonderful… in some ways better than the action on the track! The drivers/owners are usually happy to chat about their cars. You also see some amazing stuff. This 300sl for example. It wasn’t there for the racing, it was just casually parked here between a pickup truck and a multi-million dollar Ferrari.
If you are in the region in early July, I strongly suggest a visit. Unlike similar events in other cities, the NW Historics are very lightly attended and access, parking, etc is rarely a hassle. Admission is cheap and the weather here that time of year is usually quite mild.
The cars are… amazing.
Man…those cars look *best* in black! And, just seeing that angle….it says, “Get ze F out of my vay!”
Grrrrrrr…what a good-looking –WICKED good looking– Car!
what a crap photo… should have noted the “tire top knot” when shooting!
Photoshop fixes all, CG….. 🙂
