NHRA 2008 Toyo Tires Nationals(Reading, PA) Funny Car Eliminator

[bucket772]

Here are some of my better Funny Car shots from the 2008 NHRA Toyo Tires Nationals from Reading PA. If anyone has been there on a regular basis you would know that this is the first time in almost 5 years that all 4 pro qualifying rounds were completed and not a drop of rain all weekend.

Please enjoy and once I get the others cooked up there will be more in my smugmug page. As for now just 8.

#6, now that's what I'm talking about. I'd crop out the Jersey barrier on the bottom though.

I just tried. It was a kinda tight crop and rotate to begin with. Best I could get away with was to get rid of the grass just under the jersey barrier.

thanks for the comments BTW.

Excellent series of shots! I'm liking #6 the best too, but #5 is a pretty close second.
