Some fantastic images to choose from again this year!
#1 The Gulf Porsches at Laguna Seca:
#2 The McClaren crowd at Laguna Seca;
#3 The Datsun in dust;
#4 Mincheff’s XKE at Portland;
#5 Lola T70;
I could go on, but the “gulf” blue Porsches win.

Thanks John for reminding me of my first sighting of an XKE. I was around 10 yrs. old walking home from school and there it was in my own neighborhood. Impossibly low, long and sleek. A super model in suburbia. I measured the roof line on my body so I could describe it to my brother when I got home.

Some of us remember visiting the Jaguar dealership in the 1960′s and being absolutely awed by the low, graceful architecture of the XKE. And sitting in one gave you that view across the long hood up front that you never forgot. Fifty years later and it’s still a magnificent machine to see on the road. Dennis Gray’s photo captures the power of this car. My vote–the Jaguar XKE.

My favorite is Moss in the Mercedes Benz W194 at Goodwood. I have a picture of this car, #10 driven by Fangio at Spa in 1954. Its nice to see the car survived and is still out in the public eye doing what it was designed to do.

Well for me the vote for a atmospheric photo has to be the
Brabham BT23. Just hear that sound and feel the breez and smell all from a photo…….perfect.

It gets my vote

Yes, a Lola is always great mechanical eye candy for me and in this picture it appears to be “doing” something.

Second that! a bye-gone era of flaming Can-Am machines… nothing better than those fire-breathers down the straight into Turn 5 at Road America…

The E type , with a wheel in the air is my favorite. Then the D type .. see where I’m going here. For a non-Jaguar photo, I love the D 50.

Whaqt can you say. Aren’t they glorious! For my money, the Lister, the D Type, Brabham then all the Ferraris.

I am pretty sure I am talking to the right person, I hope all is well I am out on the east coast and I remember you talking about VIR when I was in high school. If you are still active with the traveling I would love to catch up. Hope all is well and maybe this will make it to you somehow.

Love the Ferrari breadvan shot as well as the D-Type into the sunset. But for me the Lister catching ait is the Best Photo.

Johnny –

We announced the winner in our weekly newsletter a few weeks ago. Our readers chose Darren Pierson’s Lola T70 Mk II at Road Atlanta as their favorite, followed by Simon Wright’s jumping Lister Jag and Dennis Gray’s Can-Am picture from Monterey.

Thanks,
