I'll be there shooting photos. Here are some from other years. You can easily shoot 500 to 800 photos a day. Lots of great cars.

Some from the last couple of years.

This last photo must have been on a test and tune day, it got mixed in. But he's running the front license plate for the WSN's.

I picked out 15 or 20 more good ones, but they have to be reduced to 1000 wide.

The results up to 2006 are posted on the Orlando Speedworld Dragway site for all 4 classes.


This was the number 1 qualifier in Super Pro Street (if I remember correctly, but might be wrong). It was in the sixes.

Thanks, be carefull comments like that will result in more posts.

It's a D50 Nikon, that was with my old lens, a Nikon Nikkor 70-300 f4-f5.6 AF (a $200 lens). Just upgraded to a Nikon Nikkor AF-S 70-300 f4.5-5.6 (about $700).

The camera is digital and I use the default resolution for jpeg's. But, to get them to fit on the pages of forums, I reduce the pixel count by approx 80%, and that puts small wavey lines in the photos.

Check this out, I bought a bunch of these videos, as my new project car ran in this from 98-2003.

Picture from their web site:
