THE TUXEDO CAR
Congratulations to Stephen Norman and his 1938 BMW 327 Cabriolet for being featured in Bimmer Magazine this month (issue 123). The beautiful pre-War BMW saloon car was chosen for the illustrious field at Pebble Beach in 2013 and is a study in elegance. Thanks to Jackie Jouret for assigning me to write and photograph this story. Continue reading “”
PORSCHE LMP1 919
Porsche’s 919 Hybrid LMP1 entry debuted at the 6 Hours of Silverstone endurance race yesterday. With Mark Weber driving, along with teammates Timo Bernhard and Brendon Hartley, it finished third behind two Toyota TS040 Hybrids. This is the first event in the 2014 World Endurance Championship leading up to the LeMans 24 Hour race in June.

HIGH-PERFORMANCE SAFETY
Thanks to Rob Bhatt and Sue Boylan for featuring my photography in the March/April issue of AAA Journey Magazine. The article written by Rob focuses on the six most important driving lessons as taught by ProFormance Racing School at Pacific Raceways in Washington. Hanging out with everyone was a hoot!

POSTER CHILD
In the mid-‘80s a 1974 2002tii was licensed to BMW for advertising the introduction of the 325is. A poster was made featuring this car sitting alongside a red E30 sport model. The white 2002 is now being featured in this month’s Bimmer Magazine, and belongs to Friedbert Wall. Continue reading “”
THE MAVERICK’S “OUTLAW” 911
Congrats to Ed Mayo and his 1967 Porsche 911S for their feature story in next month’s Excellence. This Texan maverick has been known for building some of the best hot rod 911s east of California since 1978. Continue reading “”
SETTING THE PACE
Thanks to Aaron Jenkins, Walter Gerber, Michael Collins and John Goodman for their collaboration in producing a story for Forza Magazine using my text and photos. The featured Goodman owned Ferrari/I.DE.A. Mondial-t is a one-off pace-car commissioned by PPG Industries for the CART/PPG Indy Car World Series in the late ’80s. What a hoot it was to drive with that livery and all those safety lights onboard! Continue reading “”
IS THERE LIFE AFTER RACING?
“Racing is life. Everything that happens before or after is just waiting.†Did a race car driver ever speak truer words?
Judging by the reverence with which Steve McQueen’s line from the movie Le Mans is held, I’d say not. Yet, for some racers there is more to “Life After Racing”… like long-time PCA member Richard Sutliffe. Continue reading “”
“RUSH” PREMIERES
Had a chance to see Ron Howard’s “Rush” in a movie theatre last night and came away very impressed. It portrays the Formula 1 racing rivalry between Austrian Niki Lauda and Brit James Hunt leading to the climactic 1976 Driver’s Championship. Unlike previous motorsports films, it has an absolutely compelling story line and believable character development. It is also wonderfully cinematic in scope with great attention to period-correct details. Continue reading “”
AMERICA’S CUP – SAN FRANCISCO DREAMING

CARRERA PANAMERICANA IN A PORSCHE 911
Excellence magazine has done it again in issue #213. They’ve profiled a Porsche owner who is a true enthusiast and racer. He is Walt Sikes, a competitor who chose the early 911 as his weapon of choice. Check out his pair of 1965 build 911s.
Here’s an excerpt from my article (Thanks Greg Brown and John Kirikos!): Continue reading “”
FERRARI
Along with Porsches, I am often given the opportunity to photograph other marques on assignment. Recently these have included Ferrari, Lamborghini and BMW.
Ferrari for me symbolizes Italian design combined with speed and excitement. From the engine note to the sculpted lines of the car, there is something unique about the best examples. Continue reading “”
159 MPH SHOPPING CART
Congrats to Nick Stenn on his Excellence magazine feature in the latest issue #212. Driving, photographing, and telling the story of his Slant Nose 930 was a blast. He took his highly modified turbocharged Porsche to Bonneville, made it into the 150 MPH club, and now uses it for hauling groceries! Continue reading “”
