Charlie’s dad Steve hit the Topeka Drag Races a few weeks ago and shot some photos for us.

2009 INDIANAPOLIS 500

Jon — Sat, 30 May 2009 20:48:04 +0000

My friends Jonathan and Sue sat in the Southwest Vista section at IMS with a great view of turn 1, turn 2, and the track entrance from the pits. Turns 1 and 2 were the hotspots for wrecks, and there were some spectacular ones. Everyone was stunned when Marco Andretti got scrubbed into the wall on turn 2 of lap 1 crushing his hope of winning on the 50th anniversary of Mario Andretti’s victory at the 500 in ’69. Chevrolet made a great showing of the new 2010 Camaro both at their booth and on the track as the official pace car. They also showed a Corvette concept that was very cool.

Here’s a link to a story on jalopnik about the most gruesome wreck of the day.

The shots of the Airforce racecar being pulled off the track are from moments after this wreck. Vitor Meira’s car was sliding along the wall, backwards directly towards us and passed right below us before coming to a halt midway up the straight.

TRIM Heads To Lonestar Round Up – Austin

Jon — Sun, 05 Apr 2009 18:19:09 +0000

A Texas-Sized Weekend of Loud Pipes, Lead Sleds, Live Music and more…
“What started out as a small gathering on an old football field of like-minded gearheads, artists and musicians who love traditionally-styled Hot Rods and Kustoms, has grown into annual Austin Tradition.

TRIM will have a booth at the show and our good friend Marty Stillwell will be running it.

Here’s a few photos I shot at last years event.
