I assume your camping for the late shots? I hang around late every day at the air races and Oshkosh, but get some sleep at Road America.
Nope. I got home around 11:30pm that day (90 mile drive). Was running the bicycle event on Friday and when I was done at sunset did a lap up and down the paddock before heading home around 10pm. I usually leave by 7pm. I've been thinking about camping to save me the trips back and forth and get more shooting time in at those non-standard hours, but in the end, I am not really that serious about any of this stuff unless I should go back to the other side of the fence in a proper media role.
I've only been at Oshkosh twice, as plain spectator. Expensive, hot, not that great for photos on the ground during the day and just when the light gets good, they cover the planes and kick you out. Doubt I'll go back anytime soon.
From several years go, my nephew's winged sprint engine on the dyno. 406ci, mechanical injection, methanol. 606 pounds of torque and 820 horsepower at 8200 rpm.
The Napier-Railton is an aero-engined race car built in 1933, designed by Reid Railton to a commission by John Cobb, and built by Thomson & Taylor. It was driven by Cobb, mainly at the Brooklands race track where it holds the all-time lap record (143.44 mph (230.84 km/h)) which was set in 1935. It was at Dunsfold Wings and Wheels this weekend
One of the Arrow F1 cars at Dunsfold this weekend. The Arrows Grand Prix International team was founded in Milton Keynes, England in 1977, by Italian businessman Franco Ambrosio, Alan Rees, Jackie Oliver, Dave Wass and Tony Southgate (from whose surnames' initials the team took its name) when they left the Shadow team. Arrows was active between 1978 and 2002 In their chequered history, Arrows set the unenviable record of 382 races without a win, although they collected 9 podium finishes including 5 second places. Ricardo Patrese drove for them.
