Here's a bunch of pics I'd taken at yesterday's test & tune @ WSID yesterday.

This my first attempt at drag racing photography, with some mixed results. It was really a day of figuring out what shutter speeds, apertures and ISO worked best ...given the ever changing weather conditions, how quick the cars were and worst of all fading light.

After taking a few shots from the general public seating locations, I was lucky enough to be given a VIP crew/visitor pass from the Rapisarda team, which allowed me to spend the rest of the afternoon within a guest area behind the start line, hence all of my rear end images.

Unfortunately the main reason for my being there didn't eventuate, with the Rapisarda owned, ex Don Prudohmme Funny car experiencing ignition dramas ahead of it's only attempted run of the day. So it was a no go for the debut run of this beast in OZ.

Enjoy!

Steve.


Here's the Rapisarda crew hard at work.
