I'm finally getting caught up a bit since most of my Summer racing and music photography is complete!
Now it's time to share some of the past shows and events.
This blog is on Rick Springfield at Summerfest on July 9th this past Summer.
Nice hot night for a hot show with Rick rocking it out with his band! He and the guys were one of the better shows I saw at Summerfest this year.
During the show, Rick tossed at lot of red and white roses into the air and the stage was full of them. Made the ladies in the front very happy it seemed!
Check out his tennis shoes. Each shoe was a different color. That was interesting!
Enjoy a look at Rick and his band.
Thanks,

Where do future race car drivers begin? Usually they begin with racing go karts when they're young with lots of family support. This is not a big sponsored, big money team here.
This past year, I got to see 10 year old JP Borre on his was to winning the Cadet Rookie Championship, driving his #28 AAR stickered kart at Road America!
JP, with the supportive help of his father Emil and whole family, won the championship at Road America.
Grandfather, Ron Nelson, provided some great guidance along with Mike Lashmett and others.
Indy Car racer Scott Dixon is a lot like JP in that he's just a quiet guy until he gets racing. Once in the kart, JP is fast and drives smart.
His #28 blue kart with All American Racers stickers on it would make Dan Gurney proud! He drives like Dan and has Dan's personality that is also just like Scott Dixon.
Keep a watch out for JP Borre. He sure does seen to have what it takes to become a great racer.
Along with JP, you'll see some other kart racers and classes in my photos here.

Now that our Indy Car season is done which makes me sad, here is a look at the 1995 CART race at the Milwaukee Mile. The Miller Genuine Draft 200 was held on June 4th 1995, the weekend after the Indy 500 which was traditionally when they ran here in Milwaukee.
These cars were fast and sounded so great! Plus, I think one of my favorite liveries of a race car is the car of Christian Fittipaldi seen here. It has a bit of the Brazilian flag and his helmet is awesome too.
Some good memories here with Bobby Rahal, Stefan Johansson, Christian Fittipaldi, Al Unser Jr, Jeff Andretti, Emerson Fittipaldi and more. I remember using actual film in my cameras then. It was Kodak's Extar 25. It was a slow film but the colors were great.
Paul Tracy won the race with Teo Fabi second and this was the old Milwaukee Mile with the old grandstands. Good times!
Enjoy a look back.
Thanks,
