Photographer's Note... After three years of photographing drag boats the latest 2009 photo gallery is finally reflecting being more dialed in with the camera settings and special editing in Photoshop. Also a camera upgrade from a Nikon D70 to a Nikon D3 really improved the quality of the images. I'm now getting a higher yield of top photographs. The first photos ever taken all I got was the wake, the boats had already moved out of the frame. I figured out real quick I was going to have to speed up to stay up with these guys. For me no other speed sport matches the excitement of drag boat racing. The open friendliness of the crews is a true asset to the sport... I finally came to see the beauty in drag boat racing.
