Famoso, California

The end of a day in the life of several thousand nostalgia drag race fans at the California Hot Rod Reunion.
Classic vintage "nitro" dragsters and cars are fired up after dark and driven down past the stands for the annual "Cacklefest",
after which they are parked on the quarter mile drag strip, and fans then walk down to view and chat with drivers and crew.

I love the "feel" of this. It has all the "feel" of "the end of the day", whatever the event. Way cool!

Jean, thanks, no tripod, as I was moving around too much. Some of the shots at these shutter speeds worked out OK, and some didn't, but I expected that.

Vic, yes it was a good one, and I'm sorry you had to miss it. The crowd was the largest I remember from the years I've been there.

I love this shot. Were you using a tripod or do you just have a very steady hand...

Hope you enjoyed it, Gary.
I was with you in spirit, and trying to follow on the internet all weekend.
Huge crowd I hear.
Vic
