Someone after my own heart! My husband and I have a Super Comp Dragster and there is no better place to be then any strip. Nice shot! You must have had some pretty high seats.
I will have to go check out your Flickr now. Thanks for sharing.

Very sharp, clear and well done.

I've never been to a drag race, but it sure looks like fun.

Awesome shot! Nice and clear. I used to drag race bikes, but now a motocrosser. Still love the power of the dragsters. You certainly have captured that.
