For the next month Coastal 181 will be hosting a special contest to celebrate reaching 3,000 entries on their Photo of the Day section of their website. Read the below from Coastal 181 about the Photo of the Day feature and how to enter the contest.
There’s a racing enthusiast’s treasure that’s been growing for years, but few people actually know about it.
Located here in New England and run by Cary Stratton and Lew Boyd, Coastal 181 is the most active oval-track book and DVD seller in the country. Visit the Coastal 181 Photo of the Day section on our website and you’ll find a captivating and cleverly captioned “Photo of the Day,” a new entry each weekday. Incredibly, the number of “PoDs” on the site is about to reach 3000.
The photos are all unusual, covering all aspects of racing. They focus on the characters past and present who make our sport so special. They come from books, photo collections, and many are sent in by photographers nationwide. Most all captions are written by Lew Boyd, a New England Hall of Famer and author who raced for 45 years himself. He brings insightful and often humorous perspective, sometimes right up on the cushion.
You need to be careful going there. Coastal 181 PoDs can grab you, and hours can pass. But you will be rewarded with a view of racing you have never seen before.
If you log onto the site any time before #3000 is reached in mid-February, you can join a contest by submitting the ID number of your favorite PoD to [email protected]. Three panelists (racer Eddie Flemke Jr., photographer Dick Ayers, and journalist Dick Berggren) will go through entries. If they pick yours as their favorite too, you win. The purse money is $100.
