drag strip last summer

took those on a small local drag strip last summer

Neat pics. Reminds me of my local track. I like that last cutlass shot. Christian

thanks

You have some pretty good shots here Daniel. Looks like he is going to smack the wall in the first shot, or he came dang close, bet both of yall had the pucker thing going on... LOL.

yep
in the first one he came so close to the wall, he rolled over the 100' reflector for the laser chronobox at that distance, he came around a feet from the wall, he would have hit it about 15' behind me if he hadn't regained control
they found out after the run, that at the burnout to warm up the tires, a small hose from the radiator to the overflow container had unplug itself and spilled some on the track on the right side, so when he floored it, the right tire lost traction and the left tire having full traction pushed it toward the wall, scary moment for the driver I suppose...

Heres a link to some shots I took at the Byron dragway power wheel stand contest last fall. its on speed channel every once in awhile. http://forums.dragcove​rage.com …on=display;num=​1223285832

It's times like that when you learn what your own rate of acceleration can be.

Thats a dodge omni or horizon or whatever they called those cracker boxes. LOL
