Hi David mon ami, :-)
Thankyou for allowing me to slip back to some of my life's exciting times.
"STOCK CAR and SRINT CAR" RACING while living in Ottawa, CANADA.
Apart from racing on local tracks in the area. We raced on the Lansdowne
Park race track right in the city. Usually to a full house packed stadium.
One of the first photographic things I did on a regular weekly basis was
SHOOTING from the in-field during the races, then capturing the winner of
each race with the winning flag and selling to the driver and pit crew the
next week an 8X10 B&W print of car & driver holding the winning flag. OF
course for the huge amount of $1.00each. Well I always made enough money to
pay for film, paper, chemicals and enjoying the excitement of the races from
the infield. Then I started driving myself and taking pictures when I wasn't
in a race myself. Then I got into the more dangerous "SPRINT CAR" racing
doing the same thing of pictures 1 race and photographer next race.
aaaaahhh those were the days of youth and great fun of living wild &
crazy!!!!!! :-) :-)
cheers,
Dr.ted grant O.C.

Yesterday was a first, for I'd never been to a stock car race. It was fun!
- even if it was a cold, windy, dull day.
There was a young lad, just 16 years of age, who set the fastest qualifying
time at just over 17 seconds for a lap.
Here he is, in #41, leading the pack as he heads into turn two ... with his
dad, in #33, holding second.

But winning comes at a price - overheating his engine...

Racing to the podium (such as it wasn't)...
