Part 2 of the 2022 Millers at Milwaukee 2022 event.

A fun weekend at the Milwaukee Mile with the Harry Miller Indy Cars and a few others.

November 14, 2022

I can't believe that it's almost Thanksgiving. Time flies, doesn't it?

Finally catching up with things but still have a ton of Summerfest photos to edit and archive for future blogs.

So, this is Part 2 of the Millers at the Milwaukee Mile on July 8th and 9th of 2022. The previous blog was Part 1.

During this two day event I took over 600 photos at the Milwaukee Mile. Then I went to Summerfest in the evening to photograph Rod Stewart, Cheap Trick, The Tubes, John Fogerty, Los Straightjackets, Rick Springfield, The Cult and the Marshall Tucker Band!!  Probably took over 3000 photos that weekend.

Enjoy another look at some amazing and historic cars at the Milwaukee Mile.

It's such a good story of how Indy cars evolved through the years. I still can't imagine driving an Indy 500 in some of these cars, but at the time, they were the state of the art machines.

Some of these photos may look very similar to the photos in the Part 1 blog but the drivers are diffferent in a few of the cars. I'm also using 3 cameras with different setups and lenses.

Thanks,

I just realized that I didn't put a blog up of this great event. It was at the same time as Summerfest and Gathering on the Green. It was a busy weekend here in Milwaukee.

The Millers at Milwaukee is a wonderful event held annually at the Milwaukee Mile. This year it was on July 8 and 9, 2022 and the weather was perfect.

If you don't know who Harry Miller is, PLEASE look him up and read the amazing history of this man from Milwaukee who changed racing history.

A lot of these cars are Millers that were complete with Miller engines. But, there are some other great pieces of history here running on track as well.

I took enough photos that I'm going to split this into two blogs and this is part 1.

These cars are pieces of art and one can only imagine racing 500 miles at Indy in one of them!

Not all of them ran on track but I tried to get a photo or two of all, plus of course the famous grid photo.

My grid photo is different than the traditional one done for years from the starters stand on the side of the track. I brought my 10 foot ladder, put it in the center of the grid, and photographed the bunch as they left the grid.

Enjoy a peak at them and more to come next blog.

Thanks,

Writing this blog a bit earlier than the usual release date because of the IMSA weekend at Road America August 6, 7 and 8th. I'm just crazy busy lately and I'll be photographing at Road America all weekend!

This blog is on the Millers at Milwaukee and the Vintage Indy Registry guys that came along July 9th and 10th to the Milwaukee Mile. At night on those two days, I was photographing Trace Adkins and then Cheap Trick.  About 3500 images later I was done and tired!

So, here are a ton of photos of some great old cars that speak for themselves rather than me writing about them. They are cool cars for sure and it's amazing that some drove 500 miles at Indy!!

I stuffed an 8 foot ladder into my Acura MDX to get a different view of the grid. We usually do it from the starter stand.  This time I put the ladder at the start/finish line and climbed up for a few shots.

Thanks,

Wow, summer is here and it's HOT and I'm soooooo busy!!! Lot's going on these days in the photo world of mine! That's a good thing I guess. It's fun and I do enjoy it.

Here are some photos of the Millers at Milwaukee event at the Milwaukee Mile last Friday and Saturday.The Millers, by the way, are vintage Indy Cars that dominated championship racing in the 1920' and 1930's. Saturday night I photographed Pat Benatar and Neil Geraldo at Gathering on the Green.

Enjoy a look at last weekend. Sorry that I can't share the Pat Benatar photos, but you get to see a shot of me at work!

Thanks,

Rich
