Motion Pictures In car @ The Miller Meet

Piggybacking on Ryan and Josh's earlier posts, here's a few images and videos I shot at this year's Millers at Milwaukee. A special thanks to my friend and fearless thread leader of The HAMB's 'Vintage Sprint Cars before 1969' Mr. Joshua Shaw, his beloved Jenny, Andy Hurtubise (and son) and everyone who was so gracious and kind to a newbie like me at his first Millers at Milwaukee event-but it will not be my last. See you next year and Enjoy!!

Here's a few shots: http://s264.photobucket.com/albums/...2012 Milers at Milwaukee/?albumview=slideshow

Crazy cool. I'm envious.

 

I would still like to know if Joshua Shaw is related to the famous Wilbur Shaw, an Indy driver, and winner. Dave ????????????????????????????

 

well that is just skippy! thanks for the ride!

 

That was just fun, a coworker and I sat here and watched it on our break. That event is for sure on my "someday" list.

 

I have posted quite a bit of "in car" video from my 2011 vintage event season, at tracks including Fontana Ca, Phoenix, Michigan, Milwaukee, Winchester In. and Mt Lawn In.

Check it out!

Nope! Same name, no relation. BIG FAN though.. his book is one of the best I ever read.

Actually, I'm a distant relative to JOEY CHITWOOD.. Indy racer, and stunt driver.


thanks,

J Shaw
