WOW!!!!

Great shots! I wish I was able to get as close as you! This is about the best that I was able to do last yeah when the NHRA came to Colorado. I hate shooting from the stands!

THANX for sharing.
absolutely love the fueler shots with the exhaust fumes blurring the stuff behind them. as well as the twist of the long skinny body. you can see the wing twisting as the body is not twisted as much.

i can smell the raw fuel now..

Very cool... how did you get so close.

Media Credentials - the only way to get to the line at an NHRA National event, unless you are with a team, then it's only when that team runs.
