Anyway, when I set up pictures for the blog, they are simply titled with the date of publication, and since I don't want to/am too lazy to go back through and rename all these photos with today's date, I will backdate this post to yesterday instead. (I'm just OCD enough to be bothered if the titles of the photos don't match the date of publication -- they have to match!)
Today's pictures are of a couple of the final races at the Mile High Nationals at Bandimere Speedway on Sunday. As you can see, there were some hot cars and motorcycles duking it out! I would like to point out here that the track is a quarter mile long and some of these vehicles were going 320 miles per hour by the time they hit the finish line. THREE HUNDRED TWENTY miles per hour in a quarter mile. Imagine driving that fast!
Enjoy the pictures! I have a few more to share with you tomorrow (errrrr, today), so stand by for those!
Troy Grant won the race featured in yesterday's blog post. He looks pretty stoked!
Another winner, being interviewed on camera by the Mopar radio personality.
The VIP section waving at us poor saps sweating down in the stands.
These motorcycles were moving so quickly (only a few yards from the starting line, mind you), that even with my shutter speed set to 1/1250 of a second they are still slightly blurred in this photo.
These guys were so fast, I barely caught them!
So much nitrous and burning rubber emanated from this dragster in the final race of the event, my eyes were still watering the next day! And you wouldn't believe how loud the engines are. What awesome machines!
