Shot these with a Minolta X-370, Rokkor-X 50mm MD f1.4 (statics) and the action shots with a Minolta MD 70210 f4.0 zoom.
Film is Kodak Ektar 100.
This was a 1/16 mi. drag race. at a location that was one of New England's beter known drag race venues in the late 50s-early 60s.

Nice shots there Tom! Quite a variety of cars to choose from. Love going to the drags, but have only been to the Indy Nationals a time or two.

1/16 mile doesn't give you much time to get a second shot, does it Tom?  Some really fine old iron there, and some good shots to highlight them.

Tom, nice job!  Be sure to post the applicable ones on that "International Grille" thread, or whatever it's called now.

What a great show.  I like the older ones best.  I had a '36 Ford like this one http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=14290557, but mine was a 5-window and not chopped.  Nice photo series.
