2011 NHRA Arizona Nationals from Firebird International Raceway – The Funny Cars

I love photographing NHRA Drag Racing, it’s like all the action and excitement of a two-hour Motorsports event compressed down into a little 4 second burst.

The action starts on Fri. with first round qualifying and as the sun dips below the horizon and the sunlight fades enough to really see the header flames you can make some intense images. In this shot from Friday’s qualifying session, Mike Neff makes a pass in his Ford Mustang.

I feel the need . . . the need for speed!

I wanted to go back and revisit some Motorsports rather than the “stick-and-ball” sports that I have been shooting/posting as of late.

I’m thinking some NHRA Arizona Nationals presented by full throttle energy drink action . . .
