European Finals
Discussion
After not attending a drag race since the European Finals last year, the chance to attend this years finals was one not to be missed and what a meeting. It had just about everything and it was well worth the wait.

Hi Benni
The one of Steve Carey was taken at the end of the grandstand so I guess about and the others were taken up by Martin Hills trailer so about 900ft.
I enjoy taking shots up there they are not so pin sharp but seeing a Top Fuel car loaded up like the shot of Thomas Nataas makes the challenge worthwhile.
It is a crying shame that we are going to be deprived of the opportunity in the future due to the new pitside fence. Feedback from racers in the past has always been positive as the numbers of shots taken that far out are fewer and they are keen to see how the car/bike is behaving.
It would be nice if they would put a few holes for cameras, it wouldn't take a lot to form a little guard. I would quite happily pay to use one as would a few other photographers. What about it Santa Pod?
Regards
Tim
