JOHN THAWLEY PHOTO ESSAY FROM WATKINS GLEN.

Monday, July 3, 2017 at 11:10AM

Editor-In-Chief's Note: As longtime racing enthusiast readers of this site know, we have been privileged to present the photographic work of John Thawley throughout the racing season. You can usually enjoy John's work in "The Line" and in our Autoextremist photo galleries, but this week we decided to feature "the best of the best" of John's work from this past weekend's IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship race at Watkins Glen in "Fumes." Now admittedly, picking the best of John's work is extremely difficult because it's all excellent, but here are some of our favorites. -PMD

Editor's Note: Many of you have seen Peter's references over the years to the Hydrogen Electric Racing Federation (HERF), which he launched in 2007. For those of you who weren't following AE at the time, you can read two of HERF's press releases here and here. And for even more details (including a link to Peter's announcement speech), check out the HERF entry on Wikipedia here. -WG

Publisher's Note: As part of our continuing series celebrating the "Glory Days" of racing, we're proud to present a noteworthy image from the Ford Racing Archives. - PMD
