I like what you have captured in the second image, the torsion the rear tires undergo when the beast takes off, looks at the tire walls!!! :shock:

cheers for looking guys..

using my Tamron 70-300 i have trouble keeping the shutter above 1/300+ at night and have to use big iso's which is pretty bad on the D70. cant wait for an f2.8 to help out a little better..

A nice set of shots of the action involved in drag-racing, I like the second the best.

p.s: the media crew do get close to the action from the looks of your photo :)

Great work considering, and i hate using a high ISO and dont know how some people can get away with using it, but i guess depends on what you are doing with the pics but you have done well with these.

cheers people...

yeah i hate a big iso too, and avoid it whenever i can like most people i guess..

only a select 'lucky' few from the mags get a front row seat to the action, and it's the best spot to be. they shake the hell out of you..

stats:

approx 7000HP each, they do the 1/4 mile in 4.5 seconds @ over 500kmh and eat close to 90 litres of fuel for a burnout and pass, and 0-90kmh in 0.8/sec.

crazy stuff.

Nice shots mate. Doing really well with your setup, so I'm looking forward to seeing your shots with the VR.

I know theres a few a motorsports fans here (hiding amoung the bug photographers) that would like to go to the WSID.

Maybe a chance for a meet?

Cheers!
