The first 7 are in no particular order, but I did save the best for last. The NHRA shots are from Bristol......since 2005. There are a couple that are from Fayetteville in there also. Depending on the date.......I could have been using the 300D and a Sigma 70-300, or the 30D and some sort of L lens.

Great set, love the tire distortion and flames on the fuelers. I like the 10.5 cars also. These guys are awesume to watch, some of them run 2000 to 3000 horses and hook them up on a 10.5 inch wide tire running 150 to 160 mph in an 1/8 mile (660 ft.) in about 5 seconds or quicker. Heres one of mine from a couple of weeks ago.

The shot of the Budwieser car is the best.

That was with the 300D and the cheapo Sigma 70-300 lens......top row in the bleachers too. That lens was far from sharp, but some of the shots were decent from it. :)

I had that lens a long time ago. It was my starter zoom, so to speak. I got some good images with it.

Is the depth of field in some of those shot made in photoshop? Specifically numbers 6 and 7?
