Thanks, Jeffery.
I plan to get a good variety of shots -- people (I suspect there'll be
quite a few models there promoting products from racing team sponsors),
cars, and all the other kinds of things you see when you're in a crowd
of thousands. I do want to try and capture some of the race
St. Louis at the end of September. That would be Gateway. It's a national
event, so there will be a full complement of photographers, probably fifty or
more. You'll need press credentials to get into the photo area near the
starting line. Generally, only a handful will shoot the amateur

As an addendum to my previous message, let me add that shooting drag racing is
somewhat different than shooting other motorsports. You don't have to rely on
blur to create interest. In fact, pans of top fuel cars and funny cars are very
hit and miss, because a shutter speed that produces lots
Thanks for all these helpful tips, Paul!
I'm still not exactly sure where I'm going to be located, but I do
believe I'll have a pit pass. I checked the NHRA site for their media
credentials policy and it turned out to be a good bit more restrictive
than I'd hoped. So, it looks like I'll be

Then it sounds like starting line shots will be your bread and butter
that night.
I have no idea how
much leeway you have to

Hi all,
First, please forgive my lack of participation in the list of late, in
the event it caused any sleepless nights among this peculiar throng of
photographers great and small. Life has just been busy, the weather
