Today I'm working on my 1985 12 Hours of Sebring photos and it strikes me that this was an era American sports car racing when some of the coolest race cars ever to speed around American race tracks were streaking past our cameras.

While I’ve never been one to glamorize the old days or go on about how much more difficult photography was in the era of film, I do feel there were some challenges we faced back then that today’s young shooters can tend to take for granted.
