Hey everyone. I just published a story on the Russ Brown Motorcycle Attorneys blog about TROG's west coast event. The Race of Gentlemen is usually done on the beaches of New Jersey, but they came out west to have some vintage drag racing in Santa Barbara. The story is here: https://www.russbrown.com/blog/santa-barbara-drags-trog-hits-the-west-coast I got a fair … Continue reading Santa Barbara Drags

Mainly my own photography work, but also curated works from friends, colleagues, or the internet at large.
Hooligans Invade The Surf City Blitz
For better or worse, motorcycles have been tied to images of rebellion in this country for over 100 years. Rock music has lived in largely the same space for over half a century. So it seems a no-brainer to combine motorcycles and music into as many things as you can. The Surf City Blitz … Continue reading Hooligans Invade The Surf City Blitz
End of an Era: Closing the Sidecar Door Opens a Window to Adventure
Well it's official: I am done with road-racing sidecars. I first started out as a passenger on "The Woody," a very dilapidated but fun Formula 2 outfit, in 2008. I moved into the driver's seat in late 2009 and was campaigning my own bike by 2010. During those years I've had many highs and lows, … Continue reading End of an Era: Closing the Sidecar Door Opens a Window to Adventure
American Flat Track at Calistoga
Just a quick note. A piece I did about the American Flat Track event two weeks ago has gone live at the Russ Brown Motorcycle Attorneys blog. The Calistoga half-mile was the first time I'd been to a half-mile event and I really enjoyed the difference. I'm looking forward to going back to the Sacramento … Continue reading American Flat Track at Calistoga
What I’ve Been Up To
I haven't been able to post in quite awhile, and now isn't a good time either. Still, it's best to get the bullet points out there. Sidecar racing will happen this year. The team exists as Strategic Protocol Motorsport, renamed and relaunched last year after I partnered up with promotion & film company Strategic Protocol. … Continue reading What I’ve Been Up To
My Laguna Seca World Superbike Post is Live
I put together some slideshows of my work at the WSBK event at the oh-so-legendary Mazda Laguna Seca Raceway from a few weeks back. It's live on My Life At Speed. Check out some shots of the infield, Cannery Row, and of course the famous Corkscrew.
Veterans Charity Ride: The Ride of a Lifetime
I've been given a fantastic opportunity. The perfect match. Kismet. Serendipity. Call it what you want; by any name, its a chance to use my skills and experience to make a difference, and to be part of something bigger than myself. The Veteran's Charity Ride to Sturgis® is an annual run from Los Angeles, California … Continue reading Veterans Charity Ride: The Ride of a Lifetime
Flat Track In Photos
The Santa Rosa Mile was impossible to forget. The high point was certainly the battle royale between Jared Mees and Bryan Smith for the champion, with Smith nearly losing it all in the final feet, but holding off Mees to secure his first GNC1 title. The low point was obviously the shocking death of both … Continue reading Flat Track In Photos
The Hundredth Percentile
We talk about pushing "one hundred percent" in racing a lot. I think it is often overlooked just how hard that is to do, and just how often we mistake ninety-nine percent for a hundred. I saw two men both give a hundred percent in detestable conditions, just a few weeks ago. It was the … Continue reading The Hundredth Percentile
Pre-Race Grid Face From Santa Rosa
If you have raced competitively at any level you know the feeling. It could have been running track in high school. It could have been mountain bikes in a local club. Here it is national level flat track. In any event you've felt the butterflies. You probably developed a pre-race ritual or routine to burn … Continue reading Pre-Race Grid Face From Santa Rosa
