Sonoma Speed Festival

It's hard to follow the Goodwood Festival of Speed with a stateside event. We can't, in good conscience, compare, but that's not for a lack of impressive machinery at the Sonoma Speed Festival. From May 30th through June 2nd, an incredible fleet of cars descended upon the iconic Sonoma Raceway, formerly known as both Infineon and Sears Point. Pitting cars against each other in true wheel-to-wheel competition, the SSF event establishes 10 individual racing groups, from the "brass era to contemporary racing vehicles." Paired with the racing is a series of displays and exhibits that celebrate all facets of motor racing. Our friend and photographer Jonathan Szczupak of Between the White Lines has lent his eye and lens to share the sights of the annual automotive soiree. For anyone on the hunt for an incredible automotive gathering, the Sonoma Speed Festival isn't to be missed. - Words By Mike Burroughs for Stanceworks
