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.

I had no idea if anyone actually made a living photographing race cars or what path there might be to such a career. I just knew I had a camera, a few rolls of film and 3 days of racing ahead of me.
