Went out to a local drag racing event last weekend, and of course took my camera. Hope you enjoy the pix.

Drag racing happy snaps. I like them, but then I'm a drag racing fan. Nothing exceptional, just good pictures for the album.

I love drag racing as well. It's hard to convey the energy, power, and noise in a photograph. It's a lot of fun to try though!

I went to the NHRA Arizona Nationals last month in Chandler, AZ so that event is still fresh in my mind. Photos of it are Here.

It is difficult to put across the power and feeling that runs through your body when the Funny Car or Top fuel cars launch. I shot events for National Dragster years ago and the first time standing 10 feet away from a start behind a three foot concrete wall shocked me. A friend of mine who has been onsite for several Space Shuttle launches says the vibrations that go through your body are very similar.
