Very sharp and colorful images. The heat from the exhaust looks like stained glass on the last photo. Nicely done.

Great set of shots. Love how you captured the fire out the headers, the tires wrinkling, and the front ends all lifting. You can almost feel the ground vibrating beneath your feet and hear the deafening roar of the engines, and the heat in your face as these dragsters launch. Thanks for the quick trip to the track !
My daughter will be thrilled when she sees these.

My Mom was so right! Other then my family and photography this is my other true love! Looks like you were nice and low. Great shots. Great focus and action in each one. I can practically feel the burn. Fabulous work!

Thank you eveyone for the Kind words

If you look in the 3rd and 4th pictures, left hand side of the picture just right above the Sooner concrete barrier, you will see Gold looking smoke. It is coming from a Bag of Gold Dust ( rosin ).
