First lap of what turned into one of the most exciting American road races of the 1960s. Editor's note: See all those people on the dune? most likely none of them paid to get in, explaining in part why Bridgehampton regularly failed to turn a profit. Credit: www.petelyons.com
Douglas Mesney Gallery - '66 '67 '68
Douglas Mesney was perhaps the most creative racing photographer working in the 1960s and Bridgehampton fired his imagination.
Says Mesney, who was on assignment for Car and Driver: "I had so much competition for the "normal" shots, that I went out to look for "other perspectives!"
The result: these beautiful, dreamlike images. To acquire prints of these classic shots, please visit Douglas at Incredibleimages.com
