Down and Dirty in South Florida!

Author: Alex  //  Category: Racing

This weekend was crazy I woke up on Saturday morning and headed for Tampa to buy a bed frame that saw on craigslist. I ended up running a little late from what I figured it would take me and I got back at around 4:00 in the afternoon about 30 minutes later I was back on the road again!

I met my girlfriend in Myaka and then jumped on 75 and headed down to Naples! We arrived at the hotel at around 9:00 pm. After all that driving I went straight to bed! We traveled all that distance to see the “World Famous Swamp Buggy Races” (as their website claims).

Well we got up about 9:30 but oh no Mr. Ben Franklin had to invent daylight savings time! So it was really 10:30 and all of our friend were already at Cracker Barrel for breakfast. So we got ready super quick and met everyone for breakfast.

We got to the track, moat, or whatever you would like to call it about 11:45 and the races started at 12:00. So we were making good time! We got are tickets and grabbed some seats. After I scoped the place out for about 20 min I pulled out my camera and started firing off shots.

So I figured maybe that have a ton of photogs already covering since they claim that it is “World Famous”. I get there and I saw two photogs all day long in the restricted area! But luckily where we were at I had a great view and nobody bothered me.

Nasgrass Slideshow

Author: Alex  //  Category: Racing

So I just bought a new slideshow program so I can showcase my pictures better and for the its trail run I figured I would use the pictures from the last two Nasgrass lawnmower races I had shot. If you have never been to a race you should check it out, you can view their racing schedule on the website linked above. Hope you enjoy.

Round & Round They Go…

I got such good shots from the Nasgrass lawnmower race that I shot two weeks ago that I decided to go back and see if I would have the same luck. Overall I got some excellent keepers although there was not as many racers this time for two reasons, One because the last race was a national points race and two because there are two national points races being held over the next two weeks in Kentucky and North Carolina so everyones getting geared up for that. Check back in a few days for the slideshow…
