Some of my shots are destined for a future issue of NSRA Street Gasser magazine. But I have heaps. Once Nervous Nick has decided which shots to use I'll stick the rest up but for now here's a few to whet your appetite. I've tried to get some of the people of this event in the shots, not just the cars, these are more people based smile

I'll vote for this one; it reminds me of pre-WW1 racing photos:



But who's stolen his engine?

Its like VLV was in the early days, before commercialisation and trouble spoilt it. The cars were of an incredibly high quality.

For anyone who enjoyed these shots, some of them and a load more are now in a Blurb book, all profits from sales are going to charity: http://www.grantgb.com/hayridebook/

I hope the mods can forgive this post, as it is for a very worthy charity.
