Best Vintage Car Racing Photo of 2009

Sports Car Digest covered vintage car races from Portland to Portugal in 2009, taking tens of thousands of pictures along the way. We worked with amateur photogs armed with Nikons to wily veterans stalking a shot like a hunter following its prey, all seeking a picture to wow our readers.

Try as we may, we cannot choose the best vintage car racing photo from the past year. Therefore, we’d like your opinion on the best racing photo we published in 2009. Call it the “People’s Choice Awards,” or something like that…

We narrowed down the images to the following twenty, chosen solely upon the number of times they were viewed by readers. Please vote by leaving a comment with your favorite image. If we didn’t include your favorite picture, share a link of what you think was best. We’ll announce the winner in next week’s newsletter.
