taking a sharp turn during the STPR
To top off the birthday celebration of our son, we drove up to the Wellsboro area for their rally car events. Saturday was the main day for races and meet-and-greet with the drivers and crews. Having left around 0730, in order to have enough time to scout out a good location and schmooze up some racing persons who will hopefully be interested in Dean’s HDR photography, I was feeling sub-par. Excited for the opportunities that may come from this experience, meeting new people is always enjoyable and showing off my husband’s work is something that greatly interests me. That morning and most of the day I just couldn’t muster up any sort of motivation to do anything, other than feel miserable.

Thankfully after the races, the drivers and co gathered at the fair grounds to show off the mud and dents from the day’s battles. Here was me chance! I eagerly introduced myself to a few key people, after asking around for if there was a PR rep there and where may he/she be? I met one of the Subaru Rally America team members for whom Travis Pastrana drives. I was so excited to be able to confidently advertise for my husband, explaining his work and process with examples to hand to him. He was very nice and easy to speak with, he asked me if he could have one of the images as an example to take back to Vermont with him. I could hardly contain myself and happily handed over this shot.
The last portion of the ‘race’ was a course that we all could spectate from the bleachers, featuring a hairpin turn, man-made course that I couldn’t see at all and a jump that some drivers had a boat load of fun with. Dean practiced some new timing and techniques with the flying cars. It was a learning exercise for both of us.
