American Le Mans Series Photos: Hundreds Now Live!

It was a long, long weekend at Mid-Ohio: the heat was scorching, and both myself and photog extraordinaire Chris Clark stayed for all three days of practice, qualifying, and the actual race day on Saturday. But no matter how exhausting it might’ve been, the excitement didn’t lift, not for a second. American Le Mans Series is some of the most harrowing and brutal racing there is. Imagine finely-tuned racecars from a wide range of classes all battling it out on a winding road-course track all at once—from nearly unrecognizable ultra-high-tech prototypes to production-based sports cars, running everything from big-block V8’s to turbocharged 4-cylinders to twin turbodiesel V12’s. As you can imagine, the competition is fierce, both on the track and in the garage. It’s like you get four races (the number of classes) in one, and this week at Mid-Ohio, the drama was palpable.
