Went to the show from 11am until about 3ish, took a bunch of pics from different locations on the track. I tried to get a bunch of finish line shots where you can see the stripe but it’s VERY hard to do when the cars are going 115mph, lol. Here’s some of the better shots:
This guy was on the brakes because he had the other car covered at the line. The yellow box in the middle of the track is where the beam for the finish line goes into.
It’s funny you mention that Thunderbolt, lol. I’m assuming that maybe 1% of nyspeed understands how rare and $$$$$$$$$$ that car is, if it is indeed the real deal. The car show and more drags are going on today.
I can’t remember exactly how fast that Red Chevelle was but it was FLYING! It was pretty hard for me to get the entire car in the finish line shot when they were paired up, because a lot of those cars were running 100-115mph, and I was literally 30 feet away. I was shooting with a fixed 60mm F2 lens. I was practically on a swivel as they went by. I was shooting at 1/100th and 1/80th of a second at F8 for most of them. The starting line shots I just set the camera at auto and let it do its thing. I use a Nikon D40x, and a Tamron lens.
