Great work, George - your customary blend of action and scene-setting. I've taken shots from the same angle as number 14, but usually the background is but an empty meadow. The packed car park makes the whole thing much more dynamic.

Interestingly at the time I was thinking this would look better without the cars in the background !

I saw the Thruxton races on the telly and was impressed, quite pleased to see her in the paddock and it looks like she has the potential to go far.Interestingly at the time I was thinking this would look better without the cars in the background !

Great shots George & it was nice to catch up with you both too!
I don't see why Peter should be particularly anxious in no 10. He's the series Cheif Technical officer, so his boys will always come first, second & third! He does look somewhat thoughtfull both in your shot & my similar ones though.
Any particular reason you've only included Checrolet grid girls? Didn't the other make the cut - I know Moffat's girl had rather excessivly dyed hair (would need to be B&W or IR to look OK) but most of the others seemed photogenic enough to me.
I was lucky enough to be unexpectedly free for the third grid so got some in visible light too, but not with my Pentax so like the IR ones they'll never make this forum. It high time I took a DSLR to the touring cars again!

No 22 is very nice & looks particularly familiar, is it Dave Newsham's grid girl? Somehow she keeps cropping up in my IR Grid shots over the last few years? Such as https://flic.kr/p/nhEZ9Z (warning Non pentax image).
I think its just that shes a natural model posing without any directing - just as well in my case as I'm not good at posed portraits. I normally only grab 3-4 shots of the girls when on the grid - like you I have a wife who see's my photos & wouldn't approve if there were too many scantily clad lasses.

Fantastic selection, I've been to Oulton Park a few times and haven't managed to get nearly that many keepers never good shots, though #15 is my favourite (or maybe #4 if we're picking the most 'skilled' photo - I never get those)
