Proctor Speedway launch slideshow

Proctor Speedway, Minnesota

The windy roads of America led the AFP to the unlikely location of Proctor, Minnesota for a Sunday night speedway race. We’ve been thinking of shooting a racing event for some time now, and the opportunity presented itself when we visited relatives in Duluth, MN. The Proctor Speedway sits in a valley on the same site of the local fairgrounds. The track is dirt and the facilities are basic. It was just how we wanted it. Small and raw.

Here are ten photos from our night. Five color frames from Ross, and five black and white from Andrew.
