The Concept:
The Circle Track Photo concept was born during the summer of 2000 at the Kalamazoo Speedway. As the season progressed, we noticed that there was an opportunity to reach both fans and drivers and provide them with an outlet of creative ideas and services that were unavailable at any other track. Further more, we introduced to race teams and fans the concept of "at-the-track" printing and the ability for fans and drivers to take home their winner circle photos the same night. This concept has since gone on to influence track photographers all over the state and country and how they do business.
