I had an epiphany recently and this may sound dumb to you Speedhunters out there, but I was thinking that if a certain motorsport is popular and readily available in the country that you live in, then why shouldn’t you become a fan? I applied this to drag racing and off-road racing recently, and now I’m getting into dirt track [...]
At the beginning of this year I told myself that I would try to experience as many new types of car culture as possible, so when I heard that the World Of Outlaws Sprint Car Series would be coming to the West Coast, I knew that I would have to check it out. I’ve been meaning to shoot dirt [...]
Ever since I shot the King Of The Hammers race, people have asked me why the sudden interest in off-road racing. My reply is simple: because it is awesome. Off-road racing is very visually appealing – there is such a wide range of racecars and it’s very dynamic both in the appearance of the competitors and the terrain they [...]
Any day I get to pack up my gear and go Speedhunting is a good day, but ever since this time last year I’ve been counting down the days to the next Leadfoot Festival. The weekend just passed, edition 2013 went down in style on Rod Millen’s 1-mile long driveway. Although he made a name [...]
The best place to be at any Formula One race is the paddock, which is where the drivers are most of the time if they aren’t on the track fighting each other wheel to wheel. You never know when the drivers will appear so I spent a good amount of time in the paddock waiting [...]
Maxime Martin and John Edwards are rookies on the BMW Rahal-Letterman-Lanigan team. This past weekend was their first 12 Hours Of Sebring and it certainly won’t be their last. Maxime is 27 years old… …and John is even younger at just 22 years old. John will be driving with Dirk Müller and Joey Hand in [...]
I’ve never owned a BMW. In fact, I’ve never owned a European car – since I got my driver’s license I’ve had eight Nissan/Datsun automobiles. The only time I had a chance to drive an M3 was years ago when I was still actively competing in Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) autocross. One of [...]
It’s a fact I’ve never really been a fan of drag racing. Hang on though and stick with me, because I am now – and I hope that you will be too after reading this. Drag racing is not something I’ve just discovered either: I’ve been regularly visiting dragstrips for over 15 years. From Santa [...]
I’m going to wager a guess that Ken Block and Hoonigan Racing Division are names that need no introduction to this, or virtually any audience these days. Despite having never won a WRC stage, let alone a championship, it seems to boggle a lot of minds as to how Ken has become such a popular [...]
We always push ourselves to bring you the best possible coverage and photography at every event we attend, and I am a big believer in showing you Speedhunters out there what goes on behind the scenes. This time I’ve tried to do something a little different: I wanted to show you guys what I did on [...]
I hope everyone else is as excited as I am about WRC coverage coming to Speedhunters! One of my favorite things about working for this site is getting dropped into unfamiliar territory and trying to figure out not only how to shoot a new type of event, but also trying to figure out the rules, [...]
Even after I’ve had a week to soak it all in, all I can say is holy *#&^ing $#@*! world-class rallying, is there anything more glorious? As a petrol head, it seems virtually obligatory to be interested in Rally and like many of you, I’ve admired the WRC from the sidelines for some time. While [...]
…and the beginning of another. The 2013 running of the 12 Hours Of Sebring endurance race might have heralded the final time the classic event would run under the banner of the American Le Mans Series (after a 15 year run), but the 61st edition signalled anything but the end. The big LMP1 cars would [...]
As you saw in our Nostalgia Immersion: March Meet 2013 coverage, there were plenty of mega-buck Top Fuel dragsters and Funny Cars at the March Meet, but they were far outnumbered by the hobbyist drag racers and their production vehicle racecars. These are cars that we mere mortals might have a chance at owning and [...]
It’s the smell of nitro and rubber turned to smoke, BBQ and kettle corn; the sudden crack of a blower separating from its engine at 260mph, enough to make you jump even with earplugs; the guttural tremor as a Top Fuel car claws for traction. This must be March Meet. 55 years later, people still [...]
