Awesome Fun Time

The date was May 12th , Paradise Dragstrip was once again packed out due to the awesome show BB Brown  and the North Georgia Hot Rods had on top of the Ol' hill. Like always the entrance was full with determined swap meet vendors at 7am, and stayed flowing almost all day with spectators ,racers and mean rides.
It was nice to see Bunky Bobo and crew pulled the Hemi Hurricane from the Motorsports Hall of Fame & Museum back up to the show ! If you Google his name you might run up on many cool stories as I did haha.

But the track looked so cool with Coupes and Rat rods running heads-up all day long , I kept my wide angle lens on most of the time so I could catch the action coming out of both lanes. Which had me so busy I forgot to get any burnout shots haha , but I'm cool with it , I'm just glad I was able to be there and capture this cool event!

The next Show-N-Go should be in July then Oct. , keep an eye on the forum at www.paradisedragstrip.net or better yet the Paradise FaceBook page. But the crew usually tries to have it on the first Saturday of the month.
Now...in case you already viewed the pic's from my gallery , I did some fun editing to the ones posted here...from HDR Touch (brings out details in the dark to light tones) to Old Skool Touch (make'em look vintage) just so you have something fresh to see,and not the same ol images from my site, which are straight from the camera and unedited anyhow.
