About The Project

I grew up on a racetrack, or rather, on asphalt. Every weekend, my parents would drive my brother and me to an abandoned parking lot in Camden, NJ or on a good day, to a closed circuit racetrack. My dad would teach defensive driving or ride along with some nutcase, as an instructor, during what they called an autocross event. I was a ballet dancer and studious back then. I didn’t understand what I saw around me or fit in. Last summer, I went to my first track event in years. Unlike two decades ago, when I camped out in the back of our station wagon eating licorice and coloring, I engaged in conversations with drivers and witnessed the sweetest camaraderie. I came to realize the ridiculous hobby my dad had back then is a remarkable sport that requires considerable smarts and grace. I cannot wait to capture the competitive cast of characters found at a racetrack.
