Car Racing, 1978. These four black and white film negative strips were created for the Lacey Leader newspaper. These images show several different cars driving around a track or obstacle course set up in a large parking lot. The parking lot appears to be that of South Sound Center. A small group of spectators are present.
Image 31 shows a small Fiat sports car driving through the parking lot. Image 32 shows a small hatchback car driving through the parking lot. Image 33 shows five standing men and one seated man watching one of the cars drive around the parking lot. All of these people are turned away from the camera. Image 34 shows the hatchback seen in image 32 driving around the parking lot. Image 35 is very similar to image 33, but here the previously seated man is standing. Image 36 shows the hatchback driving around the track. Image 37 shows a different car driving through the parking lot. Image 38 shows three cars parked in a line alongside two men speaking and a trailer or motor home. Two other cars are visible in the background. A traffic cone is visible in the foreground. Image 39 is nearly identical to the previous image. Image 40 shows a small sports car driving through the parking lot. Visible on the passenger's side door is "LOTUS ELAN." Image 41 is effectively identical to the previous image. Image 42 is blank. Image 43 shows a man doing something to the windshield of a car. The car's hood is open. The man is wearing a jacket with a patch on the back which reads "SOUTH SOUND RACE & RALLYE." Image 44 shows a sports car driving past spectators standing in a loose row. There are approximately 20 people visible in the image. Image 1 shows a car driving between two rows of traffic cones toward the camera. Image 2 shows four men standing near two large lamps on tall stands. One of these men is talking into a radio handset. There are two cars partially visible behind the people. The front of a Woolworth's is partially visible in the upper-left corner of the image. Image 3 shows a sports car driving through the parking lot. Visible along the bottom of the driver's side door is "SAAB." Image 4 shows a blurry shot of 4-6 people in the image foreground facing away from the camera. A car (which is in focus) is partially visible beyond the group of people. Image 5 shows the hatchback driving through the parking lot. Image 6 shows a different sports car driving through the parking lot.
