Drag Racing............

I started this forum for any collecting hobby and it turned into my camera collecting and using forum. I use it mostly to keep a record of my photo adventures. Nobody but me seems to have photo adventures that visit here....but however. I have so many cameras now that I forget which is which and which ones work and which ones don't. If you have cameras and adventures you would be welcome to post here.

..............images from the Daily Telegraph.

NHRA top fuel dragster driver Larry Dixon crashes after his car broke in half during qualifying for the Gatornationals at Auto Plus Raceway at Gainesville...

I used to go down to Santa Pod in Northamptonshire to watch it. That was back in the early 70's. I enjoyed it a lot..................

When I lived in So. Cal., went to the Winternationals every year at Pomona, saw a few wrecks,
but never saw anything like that...... :shock:
