BTW, Robert Yates in cooperation with Jack Roush are the official engine supplier for Ford to their NASCAR racing efforts.

Hi Mark,

Thanks much. They're Kodachrome 64 transparencies. As I recall, the panning was pretty tough, and I didn't get that many good ones. I probably had to shoot at about 1/125th or 1.250th, as the track speed was probably about 180 mph at this location. Some shots might have been under yellow though. Shot a bunch of Tri-X that week as well. I'll have to scan some if I run across it. I sent some of these to Doug Yates whose dad, Robert Yates, was Allison's engine man. Doug runs one of the big Nascar teams today, but he recalled being there as a wee kid when I was shooting these. I didn't know that.

Nice shots all around, Paul. Great panning work as well. No image stabilization I assume... These are Kadachromes so they are ISO 200 or less?

I went to Daytona with Bobby Allison and his crew to do a story for Motor magazine, a Hearst pub, in February of 1983. Ingersoll Rand sponsored the trip. While there, I met a Bozell & Jacobs exec who handled the IR account. We talked, and within weeks I had left Hearst for the ad biz. It changed my life, for the better I think. Today I scanned some of the Kodachromes I shot in Daytona. The wides were with my Vivitar 20/3.5. The long lens track shots were with my Vivitar 200/3.5, which I think was showing the effects of having been wiped with a t-shirt too many times. But it was all a lot of fun.
