What automotive, motorsports or collector car activities would you like to do in the future?

1998 Pontiac Grand Prix street car


What Car Clubs, Racetracks or Motorsport Sanctioning Bodies, (e.g. F1, NASCAR, Indycar, IMSA, WRC) interest you?

Take photos and watch racing on road courses, street courses, rallies, hill climbs, drag races, etc. (anything but roundy-round racing). I enjoy volunteering my time and skills to help with organizing and promoting vintage racing events.

"Richard - You might be able to start a "Group"  on the VRL site and provide more information regarding The Guild of Motoring Artists.  If they accept photographers and individuals that create digital art from photos I may be interested.
 
Nice…"

  • Hi Mike

    Sorry to have missed you on Chat.

    Thank you for all your wonderful contributions.

    You are a great VRL partner !!!!
    All the best - Stephen

  • Oh and yes Mike some of my art is digital. About a third is done using acrylics.
  • Mike,

    The advice is good. I have quite a few irons in the fire I don't know if I could manage a group on the VRL. Anyone who is an automotive artist can apply as indicated on their site. They do have to have artistic merit. This is not exactly clear but a rule of thumb is that it helps if the artwork is following principles of art such as showing an understanding of proportion, contrast, pattern, harmony, and also tell a s story. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principles_of_art. I would like to see some of your artwork and perhaps could tell you what I think before you submit. Send me some low res jpgs at classicautopicks@aol.com. I prefer working directly through e-mails. It would be great to have other artists on this side of the Atlantic.

  • Great pics, Mike!  Thanks for sharing those.  It sure was a fun weekend!  Let's do it again!  ;-)
  • Hey Mike!  Great to hear from you.  I sure had a blast at the Trans-Am Invitational and Keith was great to let me co-drive with him.  It got even better when I was able to run the main when Kevin Bruce let me drive his Shelby!  I hope to make it out there again in the near future.  Currently working on getting sponsors to run the World Challenge in a GT Corvette (had one for beginning of the season but they flaked out, so back at it), but looks like I will be doing some vintage stuff this year, as well. 

     

    Definitely cool to see Jess doing his thing in the 'Cuda.  Pikes Peak would be one heck of an event to run, for sure.  Maybe some day!  :-)

  • Oops, that was Rick Hamlin that also drove up the Goodwood Hill.

  • Thanks for the birthday wishes. The Liquid Suspension Special went to the Goodwood Festival of Speed and I got to go along. I drove up the hill 4 times and Bobby Unser and my friend, restorer and Pikes Peak navigator drove once each. I then went to Classic Le Mans and celebrated there. It was a great trip.

  • Hello Mike,
    Jess Neal may be interested in a book like Chris Salyer's.
    Would you like to add photos again? Photo credit would be given to you.
    Looked for more shots of pikes peak 2010. Any more then the 3 pages?
    I am on the quest of getting Vintage off road race cars to pikes peak for a class.
    e-mailed with Paul Dallenbach and waiting for a reply from Parnelli Jones.
    Wouldn't it be cool to see "Big Oly" racing up the hill.
    Later Tom
  • Hi Mike, Can't wait to see them all.

    Memorial weekend took some off road mud racing pictures.

    See lower left image. http://www.pbase.com/jeepertom

    This mud was so thick that after making 3 test runs my Jeep would not restart,

    so I took pictures.

    Later Tom
  • Hi Mike,
    How did the race go and your pictures? Send me the link when they are on your website.
    I enjoyed your great shots you had from the race this Spring. In Mn. I listened on web radio
    for the pike's peak event. The web TV I found was only 2 camers, start and finish.
    The start camera only was on for a short time and the finish camera never worked.
    Marc LaNoue that I meet last year had a rider take his place in the Vintage Motorcycle class and took 1st (Chuck Lee) Hope to hear from you soon, Tom
