My Summer Shooting Trackside With SCDA

Back in the spring I received an email from Elivan Goulart, owner/CEO of Sports Car Driving Association (SCDA), regarding my interest in shooting his track day events this summer. After a couple of emails and phone calls I agreed to do one event with the possibility of more.

My first event with SCDA was on June 1 at Palmer Motorsports Park in Palmer, Massachusetts. It was such a positive experience that I went decided to take on as many SCDA events I could fit into my schedule. I was hooked. So far this year, I have photographed 7 SCDA track day events at 4 different race tracks, Lime Rock Park in Connecticut, Thompson Speedway, also in Connecticut, New Hampshire Motor Speedway and the aforementioned Palmer Motorsports Park. I still have 5 events to go. One more each at Palmer and Thompson and 3 more at Lime Rock Park.

What follows is a small selection of my favorite images from my summer with SCDA.
