West Coast photographer John Wilson started shooting pictures of racing in the 1960s at various racetracks in California. As such, he built up a sizable archive of shots that cover the Can-Am, Trans-Am, USAC, F1(Long Beach), NASCAR, SCCA club, NHRA and the SCCA’s F5000 series.
This month’s Web site features a wide variety of Wilson’s shots from these various series. In addition to being organized by series, this site also includes a search engine, enabling the location of photos by keyword. Once located, each shot includes a descriptive historical caption and is available for purchase as a print.
Whether you’re looking to buy or not, this site provides an interesting visual history of various forms of racing, in California, during the ’60s and ’70s.
