It seems like it’s only been a few weeks since I was packing up the camera gear for the first event back in April. As I reviewed the photos for this edition, I began to realize why I’ve been a little worn out lately. (I’m still working a full time job during the week) My photo editing database indicates that I pressed the shutter button a little over 65,000 times this year. Geez that means 65k images must have downloaded and backed up too. Additionally, each one of these photos would have reviewed and best ones edited, selected, and uploaded to the website. Wow, when did I find the time to that? Honestly, these figures did surprise me a bit, so I kept digging. A look at my mileage records indicated that I traveled over 6500 miles, attended 14 weekends of racing at 9 different tracks, from Watkins Glen to Darlington SC. I was starting to wonder where the energy came from and how I could get it that same energy back again. I only needed to tap into for a little bit more so I could finish this article, as well as Turkey Bowl article for Victory Lane Magazine. Well, it started kicking in and it the fact is, I really love the work I do for the VRG. Capturing and sharing my work with the VRG combines my three greatest interests, photography, racing and history. One of our VRG Formula Ford pilots, Scott Fairchild summed it up best last year while commenting to a Facebook post. It went something like this, “Bill Stoler is racer who chooses to participate in the sport from behind the lens.” I did race karts after high-school for a few years and, obviously, the desire to strap in and drive a race car never goes away. A desire to race isn’t simply enough to get me to put the camera down. If I’ve learned anything from roaming the paddock with my camera, it’s the fact that the “prep work pain/ track-time fun” is way too steep for me. My satisfaction comes from capturing the fun and excitement of this “thing” called “vintage racing.” What drives me is a hope that the fruits of my labor will help to draw more people to this wonderful experience. Heck, if I was racing, I might only be wearing out tires and burning up fuel! Back in 2009, it began by just contributing a few photos for the VRG newsletter. Then Walt and Lou Pietrowicz retired and that opened the door to more participation. Eventually, I started submitting stuff to Victory Lane Magazine and I’m more than thrilled when my photos make the pages of Vintage Motorsports magazine. But the thing that seems to be taking off is the Facebook phenomenon. I’m really surprised by the number of people that look forward to the event photos. Obviously, I use FB and my website to share the bulk of my work. Regardless of the media outlet, the ultimate goal is to promote the VRG, using photography to share the excitement and fun of vintage racing, both on and off the track. The year kicked off with that drive down through the heart of Virginia for the Wild Hare Run, the weekend that the VRG shares with the VDCA at Virginia International Raceway. It was only my second visit to VIR and this event has become one of favorites. I regret that I failed to make it down there before the Oak Tree fell, but I still think Paul Newman would still consider it worthy of his quote “If there’s a heaven on earth, it must be VIR.” This historic facility retains the charm of an old school track but with plenty of runoff room which allows the vintage cars to flex some muscle safely allows for some amazing photo opportunities! It’s not surprising that the VRG shares this weekend with the VDCA. From my observation, we come for the cars and the racing but at the heart of this thing it’s about all about people and good times. There was an abundance of both at the WHR. Did I mention fun? That Wild Hare race is the coolest thing I’ve witnessed at a track. I can’t tell you how it works, it makes my head hurt. But smart guys like Mike Jackson and Doug Meis figure out the starting grid and they make it happen! Another cool thing during this weekend is getting see to see my favorite F1 race car of all-time, the Black and Gold John Player Special Lotus 79 of Mario Andretti at the SASCO Racing. The open house hosted by Dave and Robyn Handy is a great opportunity to see the famed Lotus and other racing cars in various stages of restoration and/or maintenance. It was cold and blustery weekend this year, but with an abundance of sunshine. As a result of the winds on Saturday, I spent a bit more time in the garage area, but that proved to very beneficial as Bill Hollingsworth and I spent some time discussing the history of the VRG and how it began. We also discussed the changes in media and motorsport and lamented on the days of when Chris Economacki’s National Speed Sport News was the major weekly source for all things racing. As the editor of the VRG newsletter, Bill has been a mentor, friend and 2 VOLUME 13, ISSUE 1 • DECEMBER, 2016 THE VIEW IN THE REARVIEW 2016 in Review 2.3 (con’t.) another one of those unseasonably chilly weekends the #1 supporter of my work and I’m deeply indebted that had a hold on early spring in the Mid-Atlantic to him for his encouragement and support. Notable this year. The chilly temperatures and the showers racing moments for the weekend included seeing the didn’t dampen the enthusiasm and fun. There was VRG Royale Racing Formula Ford Challenge Series ample sunshine, but just enough shower activity to get underway with its first event of the year. The FF create some interesting shooting opportunities and weekend kicked off with a Friday night paddock party resulted in one of the most thrilling IMSA RS/SCCA and concluded on Sunday afternoon with the feature 2.5 Challenge Re-Union race I’ve ever witnessed. I event. It was the Scott Fairchild – Doug Meis show decided to shoot that race from the inside of turn one again, with Scott taking the win by a very slim margin doing a lot of slow speed panning. Bob Ball in his of only .16 seconds. Another fun race to watch was BMW 2002 was drifting all the way around turn one, the Formula Vee feature, with Mike Jackson taking the lap after lap. After the race I learned that he has been a win after doing battle with about five or six tightly skid pad instructor, so that explains that….but I heard matched Vees at the front. It was the first chance to more than one competitor after the race saying it was see a 1958 Echidna Special owned by Stephen Steers some of the most fun they’ve had in a race car. There of Texas. It’s my understanding that this a Chevy 1956 is so much that goes on at the Jeff 500, it’s hard to Chevy sedan chassis powered by a V8 with a Devin narrow it down for this piece. Of course it’s always fiberglass body. It was named by the wife of the car’s fun to see Peter Krause lead the track walk on Friday creator, who thought the car looked like an “Echidna,” evening for the HPH charity, but it’s a real blast to a spiny anteater native to Australia.

  • 2020 Marketing Information
    2020 MARKETING INFORMATION Pictured: 2019 CARS Tour Old North State Nationals WHAT IS THE CARS TOUR? The CARS Tour was formed out of the former USAR Hooters ProCup Series, long considered the premiere short track development series in the 2000s for drivers looking to advance their careers to the upper levels of NASCAR. Because so many CARS Tour competitors have dreams of competing in NASCAR, the cars raced in the CARS Tour closely resemble the racers seen in NASCAR except with less expensive technology and rules to control costs. The CARS Tour hosts two types of popular pavement short track racing divisions, with most being held as dual division events. This allows fans to catch the action of both the Super Late Model and Late Model Stock divisions racing at the same track on the same night, for the price of just one ticket. Late model stock cars, a machine from which the NASCAR Xfinity Series cars originated in the 1980s and is still popular in the southeast today, weigh in at over 3100 lbs, teaching drivers car control and momentum as they advance their career. The super late model cars boast nearly 600 horsepower and weigh in at less than 2800 lbs, the true speed demons of short track racing where drivers learn to handle large amounts of horsepower. The CARS Tour has attracted teams from across the motorsports industry, including teams competing annually owned by NASCAR notables Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Kyle Busch. In addition the tour has grown on loyal veteran short track drivers that fans have grown accustom to.

  • Stock Car Racing in Virginia: the Sport and the Business
    STOCK CAR RACING IN VIRGINIA: THE SPORT AND THE BUSINESS 110 ■ irtually every popular sport that captures the public imagination boasts V multiple levels of competition. In baseball, for example, competition ranges from sandlots and Little League on up to the minor leagues and Major League Baseball. Car racing is much the same. From the dirt tracks and drag strips to the short tracks and NASCAR, it is a sport enjoyed by many people as spectators and participants, in many different settings. It has evolved into a very big business. For some, car racing is recreational. For others, it is a spectator sport. For still others, it is a money-making business. Some people golf regularly or join a bowling league, while others enjoy tuning their cars and racing them. For many, this is an experience that simply is fun, yet for others it leads to a career or a business. People make significant investments in horses for racing or dogs for showing, while others make truly significant financial investments in race cars. NASCAR, the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing, is the most prominent organizer of stock car racing. It sanctions 1,500 races annually at 100 tracks in almost 40 states. NASCAR exceeds both golf and tennis in terms of the number of its fans and television viewers, and live audiences can exceed 200,000. Although in recent years attendance has trended downward, NASCAR still asserts that it sponsors a majority of the most-attended single-day sporting events in the world.1 1 “NASCAR,” Wikipedia (accessed May 19, 2016).

    TECHNICAL BULLETIN Venues: Ace Speedway, Anderson Motor Speedway, Caraway Speedway, Dominion Raceway, Florence Motor Speedway, Greenville Pickens Speedway, Hickory Motor Speedway, Kingsport Speedway, Larry King Law’s Langley Speedway, Motor Mile Speedway, South Boston Speedway, Tri-County Speedway, Wake County Speedway Division: Late Model Stock Car Effective Date: Aug. 1, 2021 Revised Aug. 13, 2021 Recently, we’ve uncovered numerous chassis issues that cannot be corrected immediately. Therefore, the following adjustments have been put in place to allow such chassis to compete for the remainder of the 2021 season. It is the intent of this group to allow these adjustments in an effort to delay major chassis changes, such as front clip replacements, until after the end of this season. It is therefore also the intent of this group that LMSC builders and teams bring chassis into full compliance with the rules for the 2022 season. These particular chassis are violating the following section of the NASCAR Advance Auto Parts Weekly Series Rule Book. For those tracks not part of the NASCAR Advance Auto Parts Weekly Series, the applicable track rule should be individually referenced. Page 93 | Section 20F – 11.2 Paragraph B. 1.b. b. A removable center section made of three (3) pieces of one (1) inch by one (1) inch by a minimum of 0.120 wall thickness square tubing welded together to form a three (3) inch wide center section.
