My name is Andy Hartwell (aka: ash) . I write a column called "Through The Esses" which appears on TheRaceSite.com. I have been a photographer and sportscar racing journalist for a good number of years now, having had my work published in All-Race, Octane, Automobile, and Race News magazines. My work has also appeared in race programs, books, magazines and print ads. I focus my writing efforts primarily on the people 'who make the cars go", driving or working in series from the old Can-Am and USRRC days to the modern combatants in Grand-Am, ALMS, SPEED World Challenge, KONI Challenge and Vintage Racing. I also serve as the Newsletter Editor for the American Auto Racing Writers and Broadcasters Association (AARWBA) and I am the owner and Senior Editor of ashautomobilia.com. I encourage you to view the photos here and to visit our main site: www.ashautomobilia.com. "A Place For Photos And Words About Sportscar Racing And The People Who Make The Cars Go!" You can find past and current Through The Esses columns here: http://www.theracesite.com/index.cfm?template=magazine&mti=15 Keep your speed up! ash http://ashautophotos.smugmug.com/photos/188047168_FnTWF-Ti.jpg http://ashautophotos.smugmug.com/Cars/ 2009-12-27T13:42:27Z Copyright 2009, the copyright holder of each photograph.
