    nice shots indeed. the one tip i have is the tilt that frame even more in the last shot.

    Job well done. Enjoyed looking at these and to me #2 really captures the feel of drag racing. Keep it up.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

    Re: Just some drag racing :)

    Timely post for me.
    One of our contractors is a drag racer !
    She's invited me down to Santa Pod for the nationals, crew pass so I have all areas access, and now I have to learn all about drag racing like yesterday !

    Oh she also has a farmhouse in France near le Mans and gets free tickets every year.
    Forget it guys, her boyfriend also races Mustangs but in the next league up from her.
    PAul

    Scroll down to the Sports Forum and post your sports pictures !
