I went to the Musclecar Powerfest & Nostalgia Front engine Dragster reunion this past weekend at my local dragstrip and took some pics. Here are a few that I've re-sized. I only have a couple of the nostalgia's actually racing, because I was trying to watch them since it was my first time seeing them run. C&C welcome, enjoy.

Great pix!

If I could get press credentials it would be a whole lot easier. Thanks everyone for the kind comments. I almost didn't even post the last pic. I'm glad I did, because it seems every one likes it the most.

Like the "in-your-face" perspective of #1. All motor and rear meats. Conveys the attitude of the old digger quite well I think. Never been to the nostalgia drags... Bet they're a hoot!

Last one is great. The first would be better if the focus point was on the front wing, with enough DOF, to get the entire car in focus.

I agree after I looked at it, I should have stopped it down some to get the whole dragster in focus.
