I just corresponded with this shooter. He shot his book, Short Track, with Tri-X and Leica rangefinders. Thought I'd pass the link along...

Nice take on the dirt track racer and life around it. Jake's shot of a car leading a race particulary stands out to me as its not the cliche shot of Motor racing. I like the motion hes captured. You can smell the oil in most of his pictures.
I spent sometime myself competing on a purely amateur level in the UK hillclimb and Sprint world and he's certainly captured the all consuming nature of motorsport. To the outsider the rewards can seem small but to the driver ( I guess most of these guys prepare their own cars) the thrill of race can be enough of a drug on its own. Jake's shots capture this well

AWESOME. That is exactly the type of stuff I love and shot with a lovely camera and more importantly with a great artistic talent.
