Long Before Digital Photography

A simply great shot from Jeff Scott’s SpeedwaySnapshots.com web site. Black and white, grainy, blurry and soooo evocative!

If you were never at Pine Brook this was taken from the spectator seating, looking into turn one.

The only car recognizable is Jim Gosford’s 61. The rest of them are pure art.  A great photograph from a time when you did not know what kind of shot you had until you went home and into the darkroom to develop the film and print the image.
