Duration 3 days
The story

What we were after.

Showed up to LS Fest Texas with a simple plan: shoot for the feed. Reels, paddock portraits, a few car-on-track frames. Anything that wouldn't survive an aspect-ratio crop was a bonus, not the goal.

What surprised us was the cruise scene running alongside the racing — '60s Impalas and lifted muscle cars staged next to modern LS-swap builds. Some of the strongest frames came from the slow stuff. The drift sessions delivered the action; the grid pulled the light.
