I've got a few more posts to churn out before the year's up. First up, I want to quickly share this special set of photos with you. They were taken by our in-house artiste-as-photographer: Linhbergh Nguyen this past April at the birthplace of hot rodding: the El Mirage Dry Lakes . Those of you familiar with the history of Hot Rodding will know
Let's continue to look at the Speedhunters coverage from the Mooneyes Xmas Party 2009. I'll start things off with a few shots of Tania Simon, who accompanied us as a pinup model for the day. Linhbergh was planning to do a big shoot with her and Courtney Day at the show but unfortunately the weather hampered our plans. I ended up having to quickly
As we wind down our Volkswagen Group features I thought it would be a good idea to pay a homage to Audi's winged warriors; their modern DTM race cars The modern era of DTM was relaunched in 2000 and is comprised of some of the most extreme looking race cars on the planet. The first Audi efforts in the DTM were from the privateer team Abt Sportsline
I spent a good portion of Saturday tooling around the Long Beach GP with Mike Garrett... it was great to catch up with him, but also not so good for Speedhunting as we ended up photographing very similar elements that day.

For example this weekend on Facebook, I noticed that Australian photographer Matthew Mead was out shooting at the Bathurst 12 hours. I sent him a note to see
Ooooooooo I just love this car.... I just noticed that Andy Blackmore had a big stack of files on his HD that he was keeping all to himself..... so I've stolen a few of them for us to enjoy together.... For me, this is one of the most eagerly anticipated new race cars of 2009.... Notice the RAYS logo? I am waiting for someone to build a street replica
Race car fans at the Autosport show not only got a chance to see some legendary racing machines on display, but the Live Action Arena gave them the opportunity to see, hear and even smell a cool selection of race and production cars do some demo runs. One hangar at the NEC was converted into a stadium track setup, complete with multiple jumbotrons,
