I didn't have any press privileges (for pretty obvious reasons...) so I had an interesting time trying to see past all the fences, cones, posts, and pro photographers that were determined to get in my way. In the end I gave up trying to find a perfect spot and incorporated them as foreground elements and compositional enhancements.
Some precision drifters appeared, and put in a great show of sliding around on the drag strip. Pretty wild stuff, really...
Three cars drifting around a shared cone
The photographer certainly had a nice spot... Maybe I should get a pink jacket with 'media' on it
Exploring the space...
The jet car made a lot of smoke and bangs and then took off at warp speed. One of the spectators behind me suggested that it would make a really great way to get your milk in the morning
Bikers provided some entertainment, not without a moment of drama...
Nothing broken, but the bike was a bit worse for wear
Damn cone
I thought Mercs were supposed to be dignified...
Needless to say, the Lamborghini won...
Good to see a Viper being thrashed
Viper vs Holden Camaro - the Viper won after a bit of a slow start. Large size version here
