Paradise for racers & spectators

The crowds at the historic dragstrip up on the hill are starting to build up once again , speaking about Paradise Dragstrip...built in 1961 and still going strong ! It's widely known to be a track about the racers and for the racers , 100% payout and the coolest crew around. When you're on on the hill , either racing or spectating it's always a fun time...that's what it's all about. This past Sunday I had the opportunity to do a shoot for the winner in S.Pro (Charles Gazaway) of his Pontiac Sunbird.
From left to right...Lee Timms , Charles Gazaway , Susie Fletcher , Jeff Fletcher.
This was his first "winner pic" though he's won at many other places, he came up to me all stoked about the fresh win and asked if I would take the shots...and as you can see , I did and it was a fun time catching the last bit of excitement that Sunday !
Congrats to Charles Gazaway on the S.Pro win at historic Paradise Dragstrip...that lil' piece of Paradise on the hill !
See this Sunbird lifting off the line....CLICK

Action on the hill !

The drive up the hill to Paradise is always fun , you never know the car count till you reach the top. This past Sunday Paradise had a awesome turnout , spectators to ground pounders , it was all good ! We held our drivers meeting to discuss the 2011 plans... entry fee's , buy backs , points program and a few other details. I am currently editing video I shot ( handheld & manual focus...so don't expect no cgi-3D movie here lol ) of the meeting for those who couldn't attend.  Don't mean to be short but I gotta get back to the editing life for a bit.
Check out the action on the hill from 3-13 at my site
