I grew up around Stock Car Racing back in the 1950's. Every weekend I was at Bowling Green Speedway, Lincoln Speedway, Susquehanna Speedway or Williams Grove Speedway. I had a love for speed. And, still do. My life sort of steered me away from attending car races but more recently I enjoyed attending the IndyCar Grand Prix in Baltimore, MD. Photographing race cars at 150+ mph is a lot easier today than trying to photograph them back in 50's with a Kodak Brownie camera. However, the layout in Baltimore was not conducive to getting any real action photos for the majority of people in attendance.
Great to say hello today down by Snyder's. I continued on down River Road trying to get to Elkridge, but Stoney Run stopped me under the railroad tracks, Furnace was impassible. So I see we have a common history in racing, I spent many a night at Dorsey and Lincoln back in the day. I was also at the first Baltimore Grand Prix. I took a quick look at your birds, beautiful images. I'll be back to view more of your photos, for now it's back out to see what I can find today.
