This weekend is the Vintage Grand Prix, a stupid event when humans close my favorite college driving roads for a silly car race. Fortunately, there will be about 400 quadrillion cars in attendance for us to oggle, lick, dragon, etc.
I’ll be there from sunrise to sunset on Saturday, as well as early Sunday morning. Anyone else going? Feel free to shoot me a message on IG @knutemotorsport and I’ll hunt you down!
Here’s a taste of last year’s finest metal:

I’ll be there Saturday. I stopped taking my camera around the show a few years ago because there’s just too damn many people everywhere for me to get worthwhile shots of the cars. At this point, anything exceptional I’ll take a picture on my potatophone and otherwise just enjoy the day and not have to lug a camera around climbing hillsides in the sun all day.
Last year I hardly caught any racing (by the time I finished walking through the show my friends were ready to go). Hopefully this time I can find a good spot to watch for a while and mayyybe take some pictures.
That’s from 2012 but you get the idea.

I always enjoyed this event when I lived close enough to not be frustrated by parking.

I always arrive at car shows several hours before they start, and station myself at the entrance just so I’ll be the only one there as nice cars arrive.
Love the Datsun shot, btw. I never learned how to photograph moving cars, so my racetrack shots are always blurry. I’m hoping my new 50mm will make a difference.

I’ll be riding in with some friends bringing several cars for the show (MkII Sprite, 1986 944, 72 Camaro, probably an r56 JCW mini) but we get there earlier.
I took a photography class (electives!) in college, which was a year or two after taking the above picture. I showed a few to my professor and he sort of wondered why I was there... until he saw my pictures of pretty much anything other than moving vehicles. Lots of sun (the faster the shutter the easier it is to pan) helps a lot, though too much and you don’t get much blur. This will be the first I’ve had my camera out in easily a year so we’ll see how it goes.
