This weekend Travis, Cecilia and I went out to the Portland Vintage Races. We had a marvellous time -- it was exactly what I was hoping to see. Lots of really cool old cars, some racers, some sports cars. Lots of strange european cars you rarely see in the states. I totally recommend going to a Vintage Race day.

What I liked best was the participatory nature of the whole thing. The paddock was open; so you could walk right up to the cars. This must be a hair raising experience for a vintage Ferrari owner. I figure if I dropped my camera on a car, half the people in the immediate vicinity would weep openly, and the other half would proceed to creatively and painfully kill me.

All the photos are naturally links to larger versions...

So browse through the links to the left, I've sorted stuff out by manufacturer/country/race photos.
