Wide Open Racing Photography

Well well well ... just when you think you know a guy! I shot Winthrope Hiers at the Don Matthew CZ World Championship races in 2016, and maybe again in 2017. If he changed bikes? Anyhow, besides being a super nice guy and great motocross rider ... I find out he's an AMAZING landscape photographer! WTH! I was glued on his website looking at his amazing images! Especially the panoramas which I particularly love to shoot. But thank you Winthrope for your beautiful images, and your friendship.Check out his images at http://www.http://www.blp.ifp3.com/ The next time you're in California you better make time so we can get out and shoot together ;o)

Trevor Calderwood! Super nice guy but the gloves come off when the gate drops. The current holder of the Trans Am 500 CZ Championship in California. I missed seeing him race in 2019 when he took the title, but I hope to photograph him defending the title later this year! Thank you for the friendship Trevor!

Today's post is about my Facebook friend Joe Abbate. Sad to say I haven't met him in person yet but really looking forward to it. The closest I got (I believe) was at the 2016 Don Matthews CZ World Championship races in Marysville, CA. The more I read about him the more I want to meet him! What a story.

If you're the vintage motorcycle guy or girl and you're looking for vintage bikes and/or parts, give Dave Boydstun a call at AMS racing. He's located in Arizona and a super nice guy. And he's got some really amazing bikes ... like drool material! https://amsracing.com/

Speaking of vintage motorcycles! This is a great group! Sadly a lot of events have been cancelled this year but as soon as racing starts up again ... it's game on! http://www.ahrma.org

Not sure how many of you are into vintage stuff but being 64 ... well 65 next week, and being lucky enough to grow up riding motorcycles I am into vintage motorcycles, especially motocross. I came across this video and totally loved it! Pay close attention to stuff in the background as well as the cool stuff they feature.

Other than cars & motorcycles I also love shooting planes. So I guess anything that has an engine! This was shot at the 2015 LA County Air Show. The pilot is John Drew. The weather conditions were just PERFECT!

For something a little different for the day! Do you remember the movie On any Sunday? Most of you will. BUT ... how about Sidewinder 1? Bringing back all the great memories of me and my buddy Terry out in Albuquerque! You gotta check this out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9QhtIQZHNA

One of the smoothest riders at the Don Matthews CZ World Championships. Nick is always a blast to watch!

HOLY smokes! 1500HP motorcycle!
