Matthew Bull has been an oval racing photographer for about 18 years. He was originally the official photographer at the Incarace tracks of Hednesford and Birmingham but a move South lead to him taking up the official photographer roles with PRI at Arena Essex and RDC at Mildenhall and Dover. Since then he has also become the official photographer at Arlington Raceway near Eastbourne. As well as these commitments Matthew also regularly attends other meetings on the Spedeworth, Trackstar and Incarace rosters. Matthew is also the assistant editor of Spedeworths programme, "Spedeweek", occasionally writes features and supplies photos for "Short Circuit" and other Motor Sport newspapers and magazines, such as "Motorsport News". Matthew set up Racepixels.co.uk in March 2007.

Chris Berry is our man in East Anglia! Chris is the official photographer at the venue of the World Hot Rod final, Foxhall Stadium, Ipswich. He is also the main photo man at Wimbledon Stadium in London. Chris first started taking photos in 1982 and only relatively recently made the switch to digital - he managed to make his old film camera, patched up with sellotape and elastic bands, last an indecently long time! He is still inclined to do the odd mad road trip to Cowdenbeath and/or Warneton in Belgium and fit in as much racing as he can on the way. As long as his beloved Southend Utd aren't playing on the same day!
 

Stuart Bishop is the man with his finger on the Banger racing pulse. Stu travels to most of the sports biggest Banger meetings, as well as a number of domestic affairs at Standlake near his Oxford base. It was at Standlake that Stu first started taking photos back in 1997, his travelling exploits started a year later and he can now generally be seen at tracks as far afield as Cornwall and Cowdenbeath. Stuart is a regular contributor to Wasted magazine and always seems to be in the right place at the right time to capture the sports most spectacular of moments.

 
Jim Crucefix is the official photo man at Yarmouth Stadium in Norfolk. Jim started his photo career at the Bovingdon oval in Hertfordshire and became the official photographer for the fledgling "Short Circuit" magazine in the 70s. Jim disappeared from the sport for a little while but never lost his passion for photography and indeed runs successful courses on the subject. His return to the sport was much welcome and he had his hands full at the East Coast track with regular meetings throughout the summer on Sunday and Thursday nights! Jim has cut down his attendances in the last couple of years but we hope to see some images from Norfolk soon.

Andy Hankin is the official photo man at the Incarace tracks at Hednesford, Birmingham and Northampton. Andy used to race in the Coventry Avenger Banger Team as well as having stints behind the wheel of a Brisca F2 Stock Car and a Stock Rod. A relative newcomer to the camera, compared to many of our (old!)  team but has settled into the role with ease and turns up wonderful shots. With the packed Incarace schedule he is proving to be a very busy man.
 

Paul Huggett has a wealth of experience of Oval Racing. He started "Short Circuit" magazine back in 1977 and still supplies columns and features to the publication today, now under the editorship of Mark Haddleton. In 2006 Paul took on the production of the Spedeworth in house magazine, "Wheelspin" to go together with his role as editor of the Spedeworth programme "Spedeweek". He started attending oval racing events at Lydden Hill before spreading his passion for the sport further by actually competing in a Banger at Eastbourne and latterly in Autograss. These days he still picks up the odd drive here and there, but is mainly to be seen on the infield and in the pits, with either a camera or a pen in his hand.


Chris Johnson is our Super-sub! Chris has been part of the furniture at Arena Essex for many years, he puts together the raceday programmes and does a lot of behind the scenes work too. His devotion to the circuit means he rarely misses a meeting which is handy for the official photographer, Matt Bull, as he can always be called in to cover for him when other commitments come into play. Chris has got some cracking images since an upgrade to his camera and he will hopefully again play a back up role for RacePixels throughout 2011. Chris may also cover some of the Saturday night Rolling Thunder Shows at the venue.

Steve Lever is the second of our "Super-subs"! Steve stands in for the official RDC Photographer, Matthew Bull, down at the RDC run, Dover Raceway in Kent. Matthew generally has other commitments at Arena Essex on Sunday afternoons! Steve also stands in for Matthew when he is unable to attend meetings at the other RDC track at Mildenhall. When not behind the camera, Steve can also be seen marshalling at Mildenhall. He admits to still learning cameracraft but his work often throws up a purler of a shot. It is a family affair for Steve, his wife Anne can be found in the track shops at Mildenhall and Dover. Anne will be more than happy to sell you some photographs from there!

Nick Tryon is our man based in the North. Nick was a regular at the Barrow track. Following a stint as the official Incarace photographer, Nick has scaled back his activities since 2008 but still expects to attend a few meetings for us in the Northern part of the country. Nick is very much a Banger fan and had a lot of work published in the infamous "Blitz" magazine and latterly 'Wasted'.

Barry Weatherhead has joined our team for 2010. He is a man well known across the ovals, particularly to competitors in the Brisca F2 Stock Car formula. Barry follows the class across the country and is a regular contributor to Unloaded magazine as well as several other of the sports publications. RacePixels is a proud partner to Brisca F2 and with Barry's assistance we hope to cover many more meetings than has certainly been the case in the past couple of seasons. Barry is not ALL about F2 though, he enjoys many of the contact classes and is a regular at many of the Midland tracks.
