What makes drag racing so special? Well in our
opinion.. a lot actually..
Under this headline Speedgroup publish photos we think have caught something special
on camera. Hope you will enjoy the photos we have chosen!
 |
For this edition we have let journalist and photographer Remco Scheelings from the Netherlands share some of his "catch the moment photos" from the race season season 2010, some rare behind-the-scenes shots that show drag racing is so much more than cars and bike running the quarter mile. The general feeling this page have captured is that the drivers, riders and crew members are a bunch of truly cool people! |
Coffee anyone? It seems as Top Fuel team manager Karsten Andersen is using his time
effectively.. socialising in the line-up area with Super twin bike
team Zodiac. It appears rider Roel Koedam (left) is having his
coffee sitting on the bike
