BITD Vegas to Reno Offroad Race

One of my favorite desert races of the year to take photos at is the BITD Vegas to Reno race. I like shooting the long point to point races because it adds an extra step of preparation on planning out your race day strategy. Instead of being able to pick a different spot each lap, with point to point races you need to estimate how long you can stay at each spot, time it will take to get to the next spot, and factor in some cushion so that you don’t miss anyone at your next spot.

Bodies Fly at Bandimere Speedway

I got the chance to shoot another NHRA race this past weekend with Mark Rebilas up at Bandimere Speedway in Denver, CO. I’ve been to Colorado before to cover some rock crawling events and the scenery up there is great, so I was looking forward to shooting there again.

BITD Forest 300 Race

The BITD Silver State 300 is always a fun race to shoot because its not the usual Nevada desert we’re used to. It is held near Caliente, NV which is around 4500 feet up and filled with lots of great scenery. While chasing the race you’ll be driving next to Joshua Trees, and a few minutes later be in the middle of a forest. The only bad part was Friday night and Bink and I slept in our trucks and it was 31 degrees out.

2010 Vegas 2 Reno – Dust, Dirt, and Sweat

Every year Best In The Desert puts on the longest offroad race in the US called ‘Vegas 2 Reno’. Starting in the town of Beatty, the race travels through Nevada and ends in Dayton. (maybe call it Beatty 2 Dayton?)

2010 BITD Parker 425

This past weekend marked one of my favorite races of the year, the BITD Parker 425 race. What makes this race so great is that its a nice break from the typical Nevada desert, and offers some great scenery and shooting spots. The weekends event always starts off on Thursday with qualifying for the Trick Trucks and Class 1 cars. I always make it a point to shoot qualifying because you typically get great shots because the teams are going all out.
