A few shots from "Roar N' Soar 2008"

[Whappeh]

Normally, I photograph aircraft for a website (airliners.net). So, when I heard about "Roar N' Soar" I packed up the RX8 and drove the 100 miles or so to get to "Fantasy of Flight", a place that is basically a huge ass storage place for some rich guy's aircraft that he lets the public go in and see for a tax write off. I knew that there'd be a few aircraft there, but I didn't know that when I showed up, the lighting on the runway due to an overhead sun would be awful for the shots I normally would need, so instead I got to walking around the grounds of the event. Its an event based on the celebration of the "vintage age of all things racing", from aircraft to boats to cars. I rarely shoot cars, but decided to give it a try. Mixed results were had

Here is an HHR that had been modified to hell:

And a few shots of the slalom course:

The Ford Tri-Motor in the background is the last airworthy one (apparently), and was in "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom":

Its weird forcing your self to step out side your comfort zone, I kept on trying to shoot the cars like I shoot aircraft and usually got garbage.

How about a couple more pics of that HHR (Did you mean SSR?)? Either way, it has the potential to be the least ugly example of either in the world...

Wow....I can't imagine the maintenance cost of that Tri Motor

I did mean SSR, and that was all I shot of it. :/
