Roll & Flat Venice Beach Race
Read more: Roll & Flat Venice Beach RaceFew years back when I was in USA I came across an ad about The Race of Gentleman (TROG). It’s a vintage cars and motorcycles beach race on the Jersey shore. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mykga82OT9U Since then I wanted to visit this kind of event and this year I was literally switching from circuit racing to kustom kulture events, so I thought I’d give it a go and visit one of the European versions on TROG. There were two to choose from: Rømø Motor Festival in Denmark and Roll & Flat Beach Race in Italy. Surprisingly, I’ve never been to Italy and “Italian”…

Sign Language of Drag Racing
Read more: Sign Language of Drag RacingAs it happens, once you get baptised by nitro, you want to come back again and again. While feeling nostalgic I’ve made this small project during the events I shot at Hockenheim, because I was fascinated how every team was “signaling” to their driver. You can really feel the difference in relationship that driver has with crew members: some are family, others keep a more professional approach; few may be nervous, others too eager to win. I came up with a name for the techniques as well 😀 Puppy was just this size technique Move along, nothing to see here…

One Mile Challenge 2018
Read more: One Mile Challenge 2018One Mile Challenge – fastest event in Baltics. Gathering of 100 or so cars who aim to reach the highest speed at one mile marker. Can I already say that traditionally a vlog is in place. https://youtu.be/cDTO7W7R71A Usually there are two “One Mile” events a year, so if somebody broke down or didn’t manage to prepare the car for the first round – there was second. Different this year, only one chance to break the Estonian record. Record is held by Roul Liidemann and his twin turbo charged Dodge Viper GTS. It’s 362 km/h. As you probably guessed, it’s a party…

Do-Dads Vintage Drag & Show 2018
Read more: Do-Dads Vintage Drag & Show 2018Do-dads Reunion Vintage Drag & Show – I wanted to visit this event for few years, but it always clashes with WRC Finland. This year I just didn’t do the rally. I was very committed and even started a vlog. Very DIY one: shot on phone, edited on phone. Take a look 😉 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1oc_kNXaOI Now, let’s see the proper photo report. Let’s start with the Finnish take on cosplay. Who did James Dean better? Raaaurr Those who were less into cosplay, just wore Dickies shorts, trucker’s cap and some Converse.. as I did too Event was held at Oripää Airfield,…

American Beauty Car Show 2018
Read more: American Beauty Car Show 2018Here’s a massive gallery with 100 pics from the annual American Beauty Car Show in Haapsalu. I love coming to this small town during the event. Fact that only American cars (and most of them old) are allowed to enter the Old Town makes it a bit like Cuba, if you understand what I mean. It was the first time I came to the show on Friday (ran through it in one hour and drove 3h further to Rally Estonia). I was able to go inside the castle before the general public, so made few clean shots. Also the evening…

American beauty car show 2017 // Drag Race
Read more: American beauty car show 2017 // Drag RaceDrag Racing in Haapsalu is a long-standing Estonian tradition. It’s even more intriguing to experience it when only traditional American muscle cars and dragsters are around. American Beauty Car Show’s finale is always celebrated at a 1/4 mile strip and is considered more of a show event that a competition.

NitrolympX // Hockenheimring / 2016
Read more: NitrolympX // Hockenheimring / 2016It’s nice to see you again Hockenheim. Small town with buildings that don’t go higher that an average tree. At first sight it seems that the tower that belongs to the fire station is the highest man-made structure in the region. If you arrived to Hockenheim on an appropriate weekend you’ll hear some loud noises from the distance. They will come from the forest that is on the edge of the town. Those be racing car or bike noises that are amplified even greater by the huge structures of the Hockenheimring complex that puts the fire tower into a different,…
