This blog is a bit special in that it's on a racing fundraiser for the American Cancer Society called DRIVE. It was held at Road America on August 22.
Get your yearly checkup folks or I would have never known that I have bladder cancer. A routine urinalysis revealed microscopic blood in my urine and that's how I learned of my issue. I felt fine and had no idea.
I lost my right kidney last year and are dealing with the left kidney and more now.
I've photographed DRIVE for 5 years I believe, and it means more to me than ever since I've been diagnosed.
All the proceeds of the event went to the American Cancer Society which is great.
This year we brought on a new sponsor, EIG, Ellenbecker Investment Group and we thank them.
We provide lunch and instructors like professional driver Randy Pobst all for a great cause.
Checkout a few photos of some racers having fun. The weather that day was beautiful and the best in the 20 years the DRIVE has run.
Enjoy these photos of the day.
Thanks,
Rich

About Rich Zimmermann
Rich Zimmermann is an internationally collected photographer based in Milwaukee,Wisconsin.
Since 1971, I have photographed the Milwaukee area music scene. In addition to that, I have photographed many weddings and done many portraits. Some of my favorite portraiture has been that of Indy car drivers in pit lane and on the grid at racetracks around Wisconsin. The excitement and adrenaline rush I get photographing on pit lane is equivalent to the fun and excitement of photographing musicians on stage or backstage!
