One of the purposes of this board will be to promote auto racing photography in general. And we want to have some fun. An old saying of mine is "if you're not having having fun racing, then why are you doing it?"
If you are here, there's a pretty good chance you are a die hard racing fan. And you're here because you can't get enough of the sport. Hopefully a few of us can gather here and have some fun doing it.
The goal of this board is to provide more than just links to photos, videos, etc. It's to give die hard racers and fans a place to gather in peace and celebrate the sport we love. The goal here isn't to provide a place for a free-for-all, the goal is to step away from that as far as possible, while still having some fun doing it.
To the photographers, feel free to post links to your shots here.
To the race fans: Get involved.
To the race drivers & crews: Tech area? Classifieds?
To the fans of Butler Speedway: My father & mother took me to Butler Speedway as a baby. We drove by other tracks to get there and I've did the same hundreds of times. It's my home track. It's not perfect, and it may never be. I've left saying I'd never return. I've seen a Saturday night track race on Fridays.
And then I've seen moments like on August 28 at Butler when Matt Eagen won his first modified heat race. He got out of the car with tears in eyes and pointed towards the heavens and then went to the side of his car and patted the spot that says "this one's for you dad." Those moments are what I live for.
So Butler fans, here it is, it may not be much, and who knows what will become of it, but a lot of this board will be geared to you. The amount of success this board has depends on your involvement.
Feel free to express some ideas. Let's hear from you. (And keep it clean.)
