National Finals, the beginning of the end

It always rolls round way to quickly the beginningĀ of the end is the friday night at the national finals, the last race weekend of the year before every one hides for 6 months till it warms up again. This weekend was a little different from the norm, as I had some readers from Practical Photography magazine come and join me for the day to experience shooting drag racing, an article that should be out shortly ! Having them with me made a intresting and refreshing challenge that made me take stock and think about why I was doing what I was doing and it also gave me a bit of a kick to find something a little different.

Unfortuntly Saturday was the only good day and sunday saw rain, lots of it !

This results in racers getting bored and doing odd things while they wait

That wraps up drag racing for this year , a very damp end to a great year!
