Automotive.
Deus ex machina. In the eyes of most, they are utilitarian machines designed for convenience and transport. For some, perhaps a symbol of accomplishment or wealth. But for the few - the enthusiasts, the dreamers, the pilots? They are interwoven in spirit and mind, and an extension of all that is pure art in motion.

Endurance racing asks the the impossible of driver, crew, and machine - to navigate 6, 12, and even 24 hours of grueling but disciplined focus. Each hour that passes slowly reveals the weaknesses of human and machine - and in this gauntlet does victory so easily escape by the stroke of a single mistake, yet tastes so sweet should one survive. A delicate and methodical dance to the finish.

Perhaps a driver’s thrill is better served on a two-lane blacktop, where speeds are beyond comprehension and time is measured in milliseconds. The world of drag racing has presented incredible feats of performance by both man and machine. In a world where everything happens in seconds - there’s no room to falter.
_02
For the ones who see their craft as beyond machine; but an extension of their character - they all understand the joy that it can bring them. Their machinery celebrates many firsts, provides a blissful mental escape, or even the permission to adventure. Even more beautiful, are the stories each unique vehicle tells.

Many may not realize the community that exists before the owners of automobiles. Vibrant gatherings form under common interests. Chance encounters along the highway turn into admiration. Lifelong friendships are forged by fuel. The automotive world is equal parts subculture, enigma, and utopia all in one.
