I finally got out to a race this year. the Numidia 1/8 Mile Outlaw Drag Racing event. There were Pro Mods, 10.5" outlaw and Drag Radial running. Here's a couple pics. shot with a 30D and 70-200mm f2.8

Love the tyre distortion on the last one :-)
The cars all looks spectacular!

They’re all great but that last one is killer, nice job.

Really nice series. I'll be headed out on Labor day weekend to catch some Outlaw 10.5, now I can't wait.

Very good stuff. What shutter speeds do you use at the starting line?

Great work! Shooting drag racing is a blast.

thanks everyone.. shooting drag racing is a blast. i couldn't go out in the heat because of some medical problems.. but the weather here was nice and cool last weekend so i had to go out :)

silvrr.. the shutter speeds depend on the lighting and situation.. it's usually between 1/250 - 1/500 for most shots.. it can go even lower at night, like down to 1/10 with a flash.

Great captures, well framed, very sharp, and veeeeery nice cars!!

Lurve the goats. Vettes are nice but my Monaro bias is showing thru :)

Great shots. I really liked the last one. The others are good but that last one is something.
