I had an opportunity to head up to Manitowoc, Wisconsin last weekend and get some photos at the Expo Speedway where they were running Sprint Cars and other classes. The action was lively, and I was determined to get some shots despite not having the right glass for the job, having to shoot through a chain link fence, and having subjects side-lit (at best) or back-lit (at worst) from the infield lighting system.

Still, it was a hoot and I am still digging dirt out from my ears. Looking forward to getting back up there soon with some better preparation. This is photo of the Wilke Sprint Car, driven by Jeff Wilke and owned by his brother Jim. Great guys! They managed to get to the A-Main despite taking some pretty good boulder-damage to the front wing in earlier heats.

Plenty of nice shots are available in the Manitowoc Speedway Event Gallery, including for 360 Sprints, Late Models, Dirt Grand Nationals, and Hobby Stock classes.
