The Best Road of the Year

December 28, 2008

Maybe call it a combination of roads rather than a single road. Perhaps even an entire region. When planning the route to Lime Rock Park from Ontario this summer, I wanted to cover ground as quickly as possible and then hit the twisties south of I90. The capture above gives some idea of the route [...]

PLN at speed

September 29, 2008

1987 SCCA F Production Champion Jim Knerr is also a bit of a photography buff. Fortunately for our readers, Jim took some time away from his 68 Sprite on occasion to shoot a few racing photos. As he has dusted off some of his old shots, Jim came across some photos of Paul Newman (aka [...]

Gallery: The lids of Lime Rock

August 6, 2008

As I’m on vacation this week, I’m taking things a bit easy here in The Garage. That’s right, no challenging posts, nothing that takes more than a few minutes. Photos are fun and every gearhead loves some cool pics.

The Garage hits the slots

July 28, 2008

On our recent trip to Lime Rock, I had hoped to bring something cool home for the kids, just like any good Dad is supposed to do. What was I going to pick up? Who knew. Until of course I was taking some respite from the sun while poking about in the Driving Impressions store [...]

Gallery: Around pit lane at Lime Rock

July 19, 2008

Some photographers love nothing better than to stand trackside and grab thousands of shots. Personally, pit lane is like candy for the budding shooter in me. There really is no other spot that has the same energy and so many incredible photo possibilities. I could literally spend an entire day toting the camera around the [...]

Frank unleashed: A Bullitt through New England

July 15, 2008

Some time ago, Jil McIntosh wrote a piece about auto writers who forget that they are (or should be) writing for real people, not just zillionaires. You know the guys, they are the ones who write that a 2 seater that sells for a hundred grand is a value priced sports car. While I can’t [...]

Gallery: ALMS on track at 2008 Northeast Grand Prix at Lime Rock

July 14, 2008

I really need to get a digital slr, as my manual focus skills with the FZ-8 are seriously lacking. Of a few hundred on track shots, there are only a few that I’m happy to share. Not to worry though, these few should keep everyone happy until the Girls of Lime Rock set appears!
Oh yes, [...]

Impressions of Lime Rock Park

July 14, 2008

Lime Rock Park is one of the grand old ladies of North American motorsports, having made it’s mark during the golden era of sports car racing in the Fifties and Sixties. In fact, it is one of the few remaining tracks from the early days, with places Like Watkins Glen and Mosport carrying the flag [...]
