Been a crazy few weeks around here with chemotherapy, another urinary tract infection and then I got COVID at Road America photographing what you see here of IMSA.
Finally feel normal again and ready to do this blog on IMSA at Road America where it didn't rain or wasn't super hot. Usually, it rains for IMSA weekend at some point but not this time.
I wanted my Team Penske and fishing friend Philipe Nasr to get the win but the BMW's of Bobby Rahal's team came away with Dries Vanthoor and Phillipp Eng getting the win. The second BMW came in second with Marco Whittman and Sheldon Van Der Linde.
The Aston Martin Valkyrie with Ross Gunn and Roman De Angelis is an amazing car to hear and see. It sits so low which of course is less drag and makes it so smooth as you watch it go but it didn't win.
Enjoy a look at all the classes running and some beautiful cars.
Thanks,
Rich Zimmermann

About Rich Zimmermann
Rich Zimmermann is an internationally collected photographer based in Milwaukee,Wisconsin.
Since 1971, I have photographed the Milwaukee area music scene. In addition to that, I have photographed many weddings and done many portraits. Some of my favorite portraiture has been that of Indy car drivers in pit lane and on the grid at racetracks around Wisconsin. The excitement and adrenaline rush I get photographing on pit lane is equivalent to the fun and excitement of photographing musicians on stage or backstage!
