DWHart24 Loc: Central Florida

This is an event that includes 12 hours of historic car racing. Sebring International Raceway is built on an old Army Air Force base that was used for training B-17 pilots from 1941-1946. So four years ago they decided to bring in vintage aircraft to the event. The aircraft do not fly during the event, but they taxi in before the racing starts and are parked where the starting grid lines up for the races. Some pretty cool photo ops. This event was last weekend. My buddy owns the yellow and blue BT-15.

All photos were taken with a Nikon D500 & D7200 paired with a Nikon 80-400 and Sigma 17-50.

Great coverage! The Scottish Bulldog trainer was my favorite.

Great series, but I have never seen port & starboard lights on a racecar, #77, white & green.

Great set, David! Although this takes place just down the road from where I live, I had a conflict with the dates this year and was unable to attend so I'm grateful for your post! I have really enjoyed attending this event in other years.

Hereford Loc: Palm Coast, FL

Wowza !!! What a beautiful set of photos. I want to be in the P-51 Mustang, I favorite airplane of all time. You did a great job.

Excellent set, and I especially like the night shots.

Great shots.

I'm curious about the front right disk brakes on DSC 0069 and 0123. Are they really glowing red hot?
