Efrain Olivares, who does public relations and management for Patrick Mordaunt, got me in touch with Genevieve Chappell and Velocity TV. They needed a camera operator/director of photography for a VARA race at Willow Spring back in November. Efrain was actually driving in the event and you can catch his interview towards the end of the video above. I frequently get to check out Willow for drift events, events like Subie Fest, and testing with drivers- but the VARA race was my first time filming vintage auto racing. Interestingly enough, some of my first exposure to racing was vintage racing in Pittsburgh, PA for the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix. With my dad at Schenley Park- taking in the car show and watching the “pickle cars” drive by on the street based track. Being able to see vintage racing again was special.
Working with the Velocity TV crew was great. Thats why I’m posting this video, it was shot back in November 2008- came out really well. Cheers to everyone involved.
