Luckily our track in Las Vegas is open year around, but the big NHRA events don't happen until April, and October. Here are a few shots that I got last October from the stands.

Awesome shots, I suddenly want to try this. Too bad I'm in New Hampshire and it's (supposedly) winter.

Thanks for the comment.

Yea, I'd like one of those vests, but alas, I'm stuck in the stands. But that's ok, I have the 100-400L, and I can enjoy the races, they can't. I already have my tickets for the April race, and I can hardly wait.

Nice work, these are not your typical shots that you would see in National Dragster, way to get creative.

Matt,

Those shots are Awesome! I love the processing on the first one but my favorite by far is the last picture. GREAT!



Here's a few that I took the last time the NHRA came through Denver. It's definately a pain shooting from the stands...





I know this one is way blurry but for some reason I think it still looks cool.
