Oh yes, MPACT! I’ve closed down the track, shot in the rain, and lived through the 2020 show (and trying to leave) in a pandemic. What did 2021 have in store, aside from my Performance Center M3? Let’s see.
The morning
Roll racing is part of what makes MPACT so special versus a regular car show. The chance to (safely) line up against your friends means you can take home bragging rights, or just share a good laugh.
The booths
It’s a show sponsored by BMW shop Autocouture, but plenty of vendors show up at MPACT.
Let’s Race!
Time for some panning shots!
Let’s Drift!
As drifting has become more popular, MPACT has since added a drifting portion. Pro drifters take people for drift laps around a figure 8 circuit set up off to the side.
Static cars
Just a few shots of some rides.
Black and white
I don’t often retouch in black and white. I hate losing the color, but something about these shots makes them feel more intimate in B&W.
If you went, I hope you had a great time. See you all next year at MPACT 2022!
Shout out to Jay for giving me total access!

I use Nikon camera bodies and lenses, a Westcott Ice Light 2, Manfrotto tripod, B + W filters and an iMac Pro to make the art you see here.
