Nice shots! I like the first one, pretty wild burnout there.

[Gaelen]

Thanks man
It was just a lucky shot...I was on my way out and I had to walk over the track just as he rolled up.

That car was torn apart as soon as the guy got it home from the dealer....it ran a 11.679 @ 122.14mph

From what I know about it, there isnt much on the car that is still stock

Hey Gaelen, just wondering where the track is (is it the one in Mission?)

[Gaelen]

Ya it's mission raceway park

Wish we had some real racing tracks here in Bergen. Unfortunately, they are all shit :/
Your images are really good as usual, i love the first pic. Great burnout, and a good capture

I've never been to a drag race. Looks like these great captures were taken with you down on the oval. Is that a difficult thing to arrange?

I do especially love the first shot, Gaelen. Nice shot and PP.
Be well.

Nice series Gaelen love #1 smoking as they say.

[Gaelen]

thanks guys, the first shot is my favorite too.

I was quite happy with how it turned out.

All of my shots were taken from the spectator areas, for the friday night street legals it's a $5 entry.

I stood up at the top of the stands by the start line and took my shots from there.

The smoking Mopar is terrific, Gaelen. Reminds of my time as a youth when muscle cars ruled - and they were fast . . . . . as long as you drove them in a straight line.

good to see a couple of subies battling it out there. do you have a press pass for those events?

Ya some of those new mopars are pretty quick....I'm surprised.

No, I just stand in the stands so I can get a decent angle. I'm working on getting a press pass, but they only allow people with written requests from published media (magazines etc) to get in there, up close and personal
