Better Late than never...
My apologies for the delay in posting these, but here are some images from a few weekends ago by John Ramspott of Focus Firm.
The Concept: A magazine is doing a feature on 'Horsepower & Heels', focusing on the fact that there are women who do not feel the pressure to conform to the standard method of thinking that in order to "Run with the boys..." you must act like "one of the boys". That rationale, that leaves otherwise beautiful, strong, and capable women apologizing for their feminine gifts; prevails over the realms of motorsports. Somewhere, it was falsely determined that for a woman to be successful in a male dominated sport, she must abandon all that makes her uniquely feminine, and that any sign of such traits be considered a weakness. However, as many strong women emerge today, this mold appears to finally be breaking apart. This shoot's focus was to capture both the strong and the playful side of the ladies at Horsepower & Heels.
The shoot plays on Charlie's Angels, the first unapologetically and undoubtedly feminine iconic heroines of our generation.

Hi Les,
Thanks for the comment! You don't like the helmet shot? Awww, that was one of my favorites!
I think that's great news about Hillary. It keeps me hoping that someone might give me an opportunity like that.
Take care!

I hope you get a chance to advance as well. You have a great bunch there ya know. Very nice work on the car Erica.
I like you take pictures and I feel it's the center that pulls your attention.. the helmet could of had a sponsor but I feel takes away from your pretty smile.
Just another big block racer,
Les
