Your shots make me want to get over to George Ray's. Can't do it this weekend
but maybe soon. Would you be interested in meeting up for a Sunday at George's?
Let me know if so and we can set up a meeting.

Hi Ted,
Absolutely. I've been wanting to go to George Ray's for the past few
years, but have never had a chance to get there. I'd love to head down
there and get some shots while the place is still running. It's a shame
I never got to meet George himself. I would've liked to have
Great gallery here.
I love drag racing

Thanks, David. Glad you enjoyed it.
I'm a big fan of drag racing, myself. I'll probably head out to the
track several more times between now and late October.
From now on, I'll be working on trying to find new angles and perspectives.

Hi all,

Many thanks, Joe! Taking photos at the strip with a borrowed Canon
Powershot A640 is what fired my interest in photography. Within a year,
I bought my first used DSLR, and within a year after that, I was the
owner of my first new Pentax.
I love the challenge of the timing.

DSLR's sure help on timing with a very low shutter lag.
It was a big improvement over my original digital PS.

Absolutely. Using the PS, I deleted many more images than I kept.
Now, with the K-x, my biggest challenge (at least in shooting drag
races) seems to be after-the-fact cropping -- trying to maintain a 5:4

Thanks, Paul. It's always nice to know I'm doing a decent job at

Hi all,
Just wanted to share a set of photos I took yesterday on my first trip
to the Sikeston Drag Strip this year. There are a few pictures of a
little boy in an orange t-shirt that didn't turn out well, but I
included them anyway for the benefit of his parents, whom I met while

Walt,
Lots of similar shots, but I forgot how the front wheels leave the pavement!
And the Z28 with the front end off the pavement and the rear wheel

Thanks, Bob.
I tried to figure out a way to vary my shot perspectives without
endangering myself or anyone else, but it's a pretty small track, and
there are only so many places I can really get to. I haven't yet
figured out how to get an interesting shot beyond the first 60 feet of
