This site will consist primarily of racing photographs that I have in my possession and that I have taken myself since 1977 when I purchased my first decent camera. It will be updated in my spare time (which I don't have much of) and each update will be event or category specific. The content will be varied, from the Dry Lakes to Sprint Cars and Stock Cars, and even the exotic prototype sports cars of IMSA. There will also be some Super Modifieds, Midgets, Daytona 500's, Etc. thrown in for good measure. The quality of the pictures is directly related to the amount of time the photographer spent in the beer line.

The captions to the images are as accurate as possible, however if an error is evident, let me know and it will be corrected.

Comments, criticism, hints, and help in web design are welcome. Email me at bakerracingpix.com.
