Holy moly. That's fast. I worked for a time at a Dodge
dealership in San Diego. Ralph Pearson, the old sand
dragger, was a servicewriter there. His son, Ralph,
Jr., had a 1967 Belvedere with an aluminum block 440,
dual Holly 4-barrel double pumpers with nitrous. It
was a door slammer but it was all decked out with
wheel tubs, fuel cell and a parachute. He used to run
the car at Carlsbad all the time. That car never ran a
10 flat.

That's one fast Mopar. Nice shot, too ;-]

that's contradicted by the sharpness of the car's body and the lack of

I had a somewhat similar shot from the Petit le Mans this year.  On 
mine there were two well focused images just maybe 20 or 30 pixels 
apart horizontally.  I finally decided that what'd happened was I'd 
had a hitch in my panning where I either sped up or slowed down with

I'll see if I can find it and post an excerpt.

 It's engineered for drag racine.

that's surprising. I wouldn't have thought Dodge were particularly interested in
17th century French playwrights who respected the classical unities. And I'm
astonished to learn that he, a Jansenist, liked to dress in women's clothing. He
seemed like such a nice man.

I thought it might be area lights reflecting off the white nose of the car.(?)

 Here's a version with the halo cloned out.

  Hmmm, I could clone the halo out. It's due to
 a shadow in the rear. Don't know what caused it in
 front. I thought it contributed to the sensation of motion,
 but perhaps it's distracting.
  
  Well, different viewers see things differently, and I
 could easily be an outlier from the curve. :-) 
 When initially viewing the photo, I interpreted it as
 something that'd been added in post, which I now know to
 be wrong.
  
  I'm not sure either what could have caused that
 effect.  If the rest wasn't well focused, I'd wonder
 if it came from a slight change in the zoom setting on the
 lens.  I think the Pz-1 cameras could do that automatically
 with the Power Zoom lenses.  On closer inspection, it looks
 like motion blur from slight changes in panning speed, but
 that's contradicted by the sharpness of the car's
 body and the lack of similar halos on the
 interior parts of the car's image.
  
  I had a somewhat similar shot from the Petit le Mans
 this year.  On mine there were two well focused images just
 maybe 20 or 30 pixels apart horizontally.  I finally decided
 that what'd happened was I'd had a hitch
 in my panning where I either sped up or slowed down with
 relation to the car momentarily, but otherwise tracked it
 accurately. I'll see if I can find it and post an
 excerpt.
