A late day burnout
shot that really highlites the rich blue color of Clint's
very competitive floppe |
| The same pass
but this time Clint hammers the throttle on his way to a solid
run |
 |
 |
Clint Thompson,
of Klamath Falls, Oregon on a long, smokey burnout at the
May Divisional race in Missionr |
| John Evanchuk
performs a strong burnout at the 2008 NHRA Divisional race
at MRP last May |
 |
 |
Cal Tebb and
John Evanchuck with the laundry out at Edmonton. I really
love shooting the top end and am still amazed at how incredibly
fast the cars are able to hit that finish line stripe from
a standing start 1/4 mile away |

of John with both parachutes deployed during the IHRA Rocky
Mountain Nationals |

Oral Surgeon
Thomas Carter drives the beautiful "Jawbreaker"
funny car. He also competed in all 10 IHRA races in 2008 and
finished 4th overall |

Tim blows through
the picture during qualifying at last years NHRA National
event in Seattle. Shot at 1/320th of a second from the grandstands.
|
| Very colorful
California car, the Rancho Framing entry of Mark Woznichak
makes a wheels up pass at Sonoma. The car says "Color
by Woz" so it's not hard to assume Mark painted the car? |

A
bit of a different angle on this shot of Mike Drake's Barnett
Transportation funny car at Sonoma. If you look closely you
can see the right rear tire forming a "V" shape
down the center |
| A final picture
of the Plumbing Concepts flopper, an across track pan shot
during a great burnout by Dennis |
 |

It wasn't a banner
year for former Champ Mark Thomas. Mark finished 7th in the
standings in '08. The car however looked great, especially
in the bright sunlight |
| We have to stand
way down past the finish line for safety reasons during the
Edmonton National event. I was using my new 70-200mm 2.8 VR
lens for these parachute shots. The picture of Terry Munroe
and Thomas Carter is a little distorted from the heat waves
coming off of the asphalt because they are a long distance
from where I was standing. If anyone feels like buying me
a 400mm Nikon VR pro lens, I might be able to zoom in a little
closer - PLEASE!! |

Von Smith in
the Jackson Bros. flopper get's great traction and hikes the
front end up on this pass in Sonoma. Looks like the car must
have had a little mishap previous to this run as the paint
was damaged in several places
|
| 3 time IHRA Alcohol
Funny Car World Champion Rob Atchison with parachutes fully
deployed. You won't find a more professional team anywhere
in Canada. Rob and his crew have just inked a new three year
deal to carry the Ace Manufacturing banner on a second car
out of Edmonton. Rob will run a limited NHRA/IHRA schedule
with this car in the West including Mission for the first
time and a special feature race at the Rocky Mountain Nationals.

Eddy Plaizer
runs one of the prettiest Nostalgia floppers anywhere. Here
he is on the chutes after a qualifying run at Edmonton |
| Sean Bellemeur
exploded a burst panel during qualifying at MRP. You can see
the body piece hanging out in front of the blower |
