Local off-road racing team Desert Dingo Racing conducted a photo shoot at Bonny Doon Village airport on April 27.
The shoot was coordinated by Santa Cruz photographer Jeff Luhn, who used a boom pole extended from a truck driving alongside the car to shoot a picture that would appear to be from a helicopter.
The team’s 1969 VW Beetle is the official World Diabetes Day car of the Baja 1000. The team did a driveathon fundraiser for the International Diabetes Federation as part of the 2007 Baja 1000 and plans to do the same again this year.
