Hi all

Yesterday I went to the American Car World Nationals at Shakespeare County Raceway.

I had never been there before, and it was quite a experience. It's a disused airfield, as you can tell from the junk lying around!

I took 200+ pictures, quite a lot of which I am quite happy with. Here are some of the highlights:

Some nice shots Joe. I like this one...

Shame you cropped quite so tight, I'd like to see all of the shadow of the car at the rear I'd be tempted to clone out that vehicle on the left.

Same with the half-front shot of the GTO - cloning out that trailer and the distracting background would reduce the pic to the essentials and be quite striking.

Nice colourful shots. 8)

Thanks, its an awful lot to clone out, but I may have a go!
