Thanks, the first pic is shot with a 16-35, 2.8 at f4 on a Mark IV from 225 feet away from the start line. The second with a 200, 2L at f4 on a Mark IV from the same spot.

Same here. These are nicely done. Don't you just LOVE being at the starting line? It is way too much fun.

It is truly unlike anything I have ever done. Been to NASCAR, open wheel. When the dragsters go by it is hard to be steady while you shoot. The smell of nitro, overwhelming and exhilarating.

second of the two posted is great, i love the heat distortion, makes you feel like you are right there. They are a tad dark, but lighting is rarely ever perfect.

Interesting, I actually like the second one better b/o the colors and the neck and neck racing. I darkened the pictures up to make the colors pop, they were actually shot lighter.
