through the lens of Charlie Laird


THE FILM...
"WAKING THE GODS"

Of all the drivers Charlie photographed, only 11 are still with us. Racing today, is so much safer due to the lessons of the tragic losses of the drivers that lived and died in a time when they were never sure if they would see another Monday morning. Like a “barn find”, re-discovering these photos, awakens those racing GODS to remind us that no matter how brave, they were all in eternal fear of fire… a time when GODS wore Nomex…
