Just a short drive from Portland sits Pats Acres Racing Complex; a haven for those who like all things automotive, and a way to keep racing safe and legal for those interested in flexing their automotive muscles. We took a trip out there with our How-To guide in hand. To be fair this How-To was produced by Vivitar in the 1970s as a way to sell lenses, but it still had some very helpful information in it at the time. How well does that information hold up today? We’ll just have to find out, as we take an old 35mm SLR out to the track and pit it against modern digital SLRs.

Have a booklet that you think would make for a great review/how to? Be sure to let us know, we’d love to feature it!
